A pumping test was conducted to determine the coefficient of permeability of the aquifer. The initial piezometric surface was 15 m. below the ground surface datum of the test well and observation wells. After water was pumped at a rated of 13 liters/sec for several days, water levels in the wells stabilized with the following drawdowns, 6.4 m in the test well, 3.7 m in the observation well 10 m from the test well, and 2.4 m in the second observation well at a distance of 30 m.
