To recover contaminated groundwater, a series of groundwater recovery wells with a diameter of 152 mm (6.0 in.) are to be installed in an unconfined aquifer with a satu­rated thickness of 6.0 m (19.7 ft). The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer is 2 m/day (6.6 ft/day) and the radius of influence of the well is 50 m (164 ft). Determine the pumping rate for a drawdown at the well of 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 m (6.6, 9.8, and 13.1 ft). If the slope of the water table is 0.04, determine the theoretical maximum spacing of the wells to capture the contaminated groundwater.
