DRAWDOWN DATA
Problem: A well in a confined aquifer was pumped at a rate of 42,400 ft3/d
for 500 minutes. The aquifer is 48 ft. thick. Time drawdown data from an
observation well located 824 ft away yields the following data (see previous
slide of drawdown data).
Find T, K, and S.

Distance (ft)
A well is pumping 77,000 ft3/d, and has observational wells located 10, 40, 150,
300, and 400 ft away from the pumping well. After 0.14 days of pumping, the
Following drawdowns were observed in the observation wells (see graph).
Determine T (ft2/d) and S of the aquifer.
