A 2 ft diameter well penetrates vertically through a confined aquifer 50 ft thick. Whenthe well is pumped at 500 gpm in 1 day, the drawdown in a well 50 ft away is 10 ft andin another well 100 ft away is 3 ft. The storativity of aquifer is 0.0005. What is the valuefor transmissivity and drawdown? Note; the piezometric head is 100ft from datum.Combination of thiem & thies equation
A well is pumping at an unknown, steady rate in a confined aquifer. Near the pumping well are two observation wells; observation well A is located 8m from the pumping well and B is located 24m from the pump- ing well. The heads in these wells are hA = 134.20 and hB = 134.28 m. You know from prior pumping tests of the well that the well and the observation wells are screened in a confined aquifer with transmissivity T = 1200 m2/day. Assuming that without the well pumping there would be no hydraulic gradient at all, what is the pumping rate of the well?

7 Yuri wants to determine the permeability of an aquifer. The aquifer has a test well 300-mm in diameter with two observation wells. A pumping test was conducted for 24 hours with the discharge being held constant at 6,481 m^3/day. The first one, 87.94 meters from the test well, has a draw-down of 0.56 meters. The second one, 46 meters from the test well, has a draw-down of 1.25 meters.The static water table penetrates the well to a depth of 28 meters. Determine the radius of influence of the aquifer in meters. Round off to three decimal places.
“For a well draining 80 acres, with thickness 80 ft and permeability 15 md, assume Bo = 1.2, μ = 1.8 cp, rw = 0.3 ft, and the flow is steady-state flow following the Vogel correction. Plot IPRs in one figure for skin va“ues of s = 0, 5, 10, and 20. Assume the reservoir and bubble-point pressure are 5000 psi.”
A 12 inch diameter well was installed in an unconfined aquifer consisting of a 60 foot thick layer of sand. The water table was 15 feet below the ground surface before pumping of the well began. The well was then pumped at a rate of 30 gallons per minute and the water level in the well dropped to 45 feet below the ground surface after a steady-state condition was reached. The radius of well influence is 4000 feet. a) Calculate the permeability of the sand b) Compute and plot the drawdown surface
