An unconfined aquifer is 10 m thick and is being pumped so that one observation well placed at a distance 76 m shows a drawdown of 0.5 m. On the opposite side of the extraction well is another observation well 100 m from the extraction well, shows a drawdown of 0.3 m. Assume the coefficient of permeability of 50 m/day. a.) What is the discharge f the extraction well? b.) Suppose the well at 100 m from the extraction well is now pumped. Show with a sketch what this will do to the drawdown. c.) Suppose the aquifer sits on an aquaclude that has a slope of 1/100. Show with a sketch what this will do to the drawdown.

The discharge from a fully penetrating well operating under steady state in a confinedaquifer of 35 m thickness is 2000 lpm. Values of drawdown at two observation wells 12 and 120 m away from the well are 3.0 and 0.30 m respectively. Determine the permeability of the aquifer.
This is for hydrology. How would I calulate the time it would take for the plume to reach the next well in it's path? Plume is moving in a southeast direction with with the next well at a distance of 61.2m away. Here is the other information I have. Thank You A confined aquifer with the top of the aquifer about 13.5 m below the surface. The aquifer is 5.5 m thick and is bounded by impervious rock below (forming the datum for the hydraulic head measurements) and a clay aquitard above. Analysis of the aquifer material reveals a bulk density of 1.75 g/cm3, porosity of 0.35 and 0.55% organic carbon. After a pumping test, you calculate that the transmissivity of the aquifer is 0.00025 m2/s and the storativity is 0.000055. What monitoring well(s) would you next expect to see toluene found in and in approximately how long? State any assumptions.

A 30 cm well penetrates 45 m below the static water table. After a long period of pumping at a rate of 1200 lpm, the drawdown in the wells 20 m and 45 m from the pumped well is found to be 3.8 and 2.4 m respectively. Determine the transmissivity (-K*aquifer thickness) of the aquifer. What is the drawdown in the pumped well? [Hint: Use water table depth as aquifer thickness in the case of unconfined aquifer]
A confined aquifer has a transmissivity T = 200 ft2/day (18.6 m2/day) and a storativity S = 0.0002. A fully penetrating well begins pumping in this aquifer at a rate of 1500ft3/day (42.5m3/day). Using the Theis solution predict the drawdown h0 h at a radius of r = 100 ft (30.5 m) at the following elapsed times: 10 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, and 24 hours. *tip* Spreadsheet software could help you do these repeated calculations.
