Design a water supply well for a pumping rate of 95 lps (1,506 gpm) from a confined aquifer 100 m (328 ft) thick with a hydraulic conductivity of 8.0 m/day (26.2 ft/day) and a storage coefficient of 0.001. The base of the aquifer is 450 m (1,476 ft) below the ground surface and the piezometric surface is 10 m (32.8 ft) below the ground surface. Samples collected from the aquifer indicate a uniform formation with the following grain sizes.

Compute the drawdown in the well after 1 year of continuous pumping.
