A well is pumped at Q = 300 m3 /hr in a confined aquifer. The aquifer transmissivity is 25 m2 /hr and the storage coefficient is 2.5x10-4 . Calculate the drawdown at a distance 200 m from the well after pumping for (1) 50 hr, (2) 200 hr.

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a). The draw-down at a distance 200 m from the well after pumping for 50 hr is 5.383 m.

(b). The draw-down at a distance 200 m from the well after pumping for 50 hr is 6.707 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy [tex]Q=300\ m^3/hr[/tex]

Transmissivity [tex]T = 25\ m^2/hr[/tex]

Storage coefficient [tex]S=2.5\times10^{-4}[/tex]

Distance r= 200 m

We need to calculate the draw-down at a distance 200 m from the well after pumping for 50 hr

Using formula of draw-down

[tex]s= \dfrac{Q}{4\pi T}(-0.5772-ln\dfrac{r^2S}{4tT})[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]s=\dfrac{300}{4\pi\times25}(-0.5772-ln\dfrac{(200)^2\times2.5\times10^{-4}}{4\times25\times50})[/tex]

[tex]s=5.383\ m[/tex]

We need to calculate the draw-down at a distance 200 m from the well after pumping for 200 hr

Using formula of draw-down

[tex]s= \dfrac{Q}{4\pi T}(-0.5772-ln\dfrac{r^2S}{4tT})[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]s=\dfrac{300}{4\pi\times25}(-0.5772-ln\dfrac{(200)^2\times2.5\times10^{-4}}{4\times25\times200})[/tex]

[tex]s=6.707\ m[/tex]

Hence, (a). The draw-down at a distance 200 m from the well after pumping for 50 hr is 5.383 m.

(b). The draw-down at a distance 200 m from the well after pumping for 200 hr is 6.707 m.
