A well that pumps at a constant rate of 500m^3 per day has achieved equilibrium so that there is no change in the drawdown with time. The well taps a confined aquifer that is 24m thick. An observation well 20 m away has a head of 220m above sea level. Another observation well 40 m away has a head of 230 m above sea level. Compute the value of aquifer transmissivity and hydraulic conduc
