A permeability pumping test was carried out in a confined aquifer with the piezometric level before pumping is 2.11 m. below the ground surface. The aquiclude (impermeable layer) has a thickness of 5.94 m. measured from the ground surface and the confined aquifer is 7.6 m. deep until it reaches the aquiclude (impermeable layer) at the bottom. At a steady pumping rate of 14.9 m³/hour the drawdown in the observation wells. were respectively equal to 1.61 m. and 0.43 m. The distances of the observation wells from the center of the test well were 16 m. and 32 m. respectively. Compute the depth of water at the farthest observation well. Compute the coefficient of permeability in mm/sec. Use 4 decimal places.
Water table in a canal command receives a recharge at the rate 2.5 mm/day. Sub-surface ditch drains at a spacing of 2 km are provided for the sub-surface drainage. Estimate the maximum rise of the water table at steady state. Given: hydraulic conductivity of the soil = 10 m/day, depth of the impervious layer below initial water table position = 20 m. Assume the ditches to be fully penetrating.
