An unconfined aquifer known to be 32 m thick below the water table. A constant discharge of 2 cubic meters per minute is pumped out of the aquifer through a tubewell till the water level in the tubewell becomes steady. Two observation wells at distances of 15 m and 70 m from the tubewell show falls of 3 m and 0.7 m respectively from their static water levels. Find the permeability of the aquifer in mm/s. a. 1.02 x 10¹ b. 1.18 x 10-¹ C. 1.63 x 10¹ d. 1.25 x 10¹
