A 60 cm diameter well is being pumped at a rate of 1360 lit/minute. Measurement in the near by test well were made at the same time as follows: At a distance of 6 m from the well being pumped , the drawdown was 6 m and at a 15m the drawdown was 1.5m. The bottom of the well is 90 m below the ground water table.
a) Find out the coefficient of premeability.
b) If all the observed points were on the dapuit's curve, what was th drawdown in the well during pumping?
c) what is the rate at which water can be drawn from this well.
