Question

A pumping test was made in pervious gravels and sands extending to a depth of 50 ft. ,where a bed of clay was encountered. The normal ground water level was at the ground surface. Observation wells were located at distances of 10 and 25 ft. from the pumping well. At a discharge of 761 ft3 per minute from the pumping well, a steady state was attained in about 24 hr. The draw-down at a distance of 10 ft. was 5.5 ft. and at 25 ft. was 1.21 ft. Compute the hydraulic conductivity in ft. /sec.

Answer 1

Answer:per minute from the pumping well, a steady state was attained in about 24 hr. The draw-down at a distance of 10 ft. was 5.5 ft. and at 25 ft. was 1.21 ft.
