The following values for a confined aquifer are measured from the ground surface: depth to piezometric level before pumping = 25 ft depth to top of aquifer = 75 ft depth to bottom of aquifer = 125 ft. A 24-inch diameter well is driven to the bottom of the aquifer an pumped at 500 gpm until steady state conditions are attained. The drawdown at an observation well 50 ft from the pumping well is 10 ft and the drawdown at an observation well 100 ft from the pumping well is 5 ft.
(a) Make a sketch that clearly defines the problem.
(b) Determine the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity
(c) Determine the drawdown at the well.
(d) Determine the distance from ground level to the piezometric level at the well.

A well is constructed in a confined aquifer. The aquifer has a uniform thickness of 50 ft overlain by a aquitard and the bottom is 115 ft below ground surface (bgs). A pumping test weas used to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer. The initial piezometric (potentiometric) surface of the confined aquifer was 49 ft bgs at the pumping well and the observation wells. After water was pumped at a rate of 0.46 cu ft/sec for several days, the...

1. (2 points) A well in a uniform, homogeneous, isotropic confined aquifer is pumped at a rate of 815 L/min. After 3 days it looks as if the water levels have stabilized in observation wells at distances of 20 m and 200 m from the pumping well. The drawdown in the well at 20 m is 6.5 m and the drawdown in the well at 200 m is 3.5 m. a) Use the Thiem solution to determine the aquifer transmissivity....

An unconfined aquifer has an initial thickness of 15.80 m. The initial water table is horizontal and located 4.7 m below the ground surface. A 15-cm diameter well is driven to the bottom of the aquifer and pumped at 3000 Lpm until steady state conditions are achieved. At this time the drawdown at the well is 4.35 m and the drawdown in an observation well located 850 m away is 0.12 m. (a) Make a sketch that defines the problem....
