A confined aquifer has a depth of 12 ft and a hydraulic conductivity of 125,000 ft/yr. If measurements at two observation wells 2500 ft apart indicate a drop in the piezometric surface of 8.0 ft, then what is the specific discharge (Darcy flux) of this aquifer? What is the flow rate per unit width of the aquifer?

2. (a) A well in an aquifer is pumped over a long period at a rate of 0.05 m3 /s under approximate steady-state conditions. The steady-state drawdowns, from the water table level, at two observation wells at 25 m and 50 m from the abstraction well were observed to be 15.3m and 9.5m, respectively. If the saturated thickness of the aquifer prior to pumping is 80 m, determine the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer material. (b) Will the actual drawdown in the pumping well be more than the theoretical drawdown? If yes, why and what measures can you recommend for reducing the drawdown in the pumping well?
