In order to determine the field permeability of a free aquifer, pumping out test was performed and
following observations were made:
Diameter of well = 0.20 cm. Discharge from the well = 240 m / hour
R.L. of original water surface, before pumping started = 240.5 m
R.L. of water in the well at constant pumping = 235.6 m
R.L. of impervious layer = 210 m. R.L. of water observation well = 239.8 m
Radial distance of observation well from the tube well = 50 m. Calculate k .Also Calculate:
(i) the error in k if observations are not taken in the observation well, and the radius of influence is
assumed to be 300 m,( iii) actual radius of influence based on the observations of observation well.

2. Two tube wells, each of 20 cm diameter are spaced at 100 m distance. Both the wells penetrate
fully a confined aquifer of 12 m thickness. Calculate the discharge if one well is discharging
under a depression head of 3 m. What will be the precentage decrease in the discharge of the well
if both the wells are discharging under the depression head of 3 m. Take radius of influence
for each well equal to 250 metres, and coefficient of permeability of aquifer as 50 metres/day.

3. A gravity well has a diameter of 60 cm. The depth of water in the well is 40 metres before pumping
is started. When pumping is being done at the rate of 2000 litres per minute, the drawdown in a
well 10 metres away is 4 metres and in another well 20 metres away is 2 metres. Determine (a)
radius of zero drawdown, (b) coefficient of pemeability, (c) drawdown in the well, (d) specific
capacity of the well, (e) maximum rate at which water can be pumped from the well.
