Example
A 200‐mm‐diameter well that fully penetrates a25‐m‐thick confined aquifer is pumped at a rateof 2000 m3/day. The drawdown in an observationwell 100 m away is 1.4 m and the drawdown inan observation well 50 m away is 4 m. What isthe horizontal permeability of the aquifer?

What would be the horizontal permeability ofthe aquifer if it was unconfined instead? Assumethe static water level in the aquifer is 100 mabove the impervious layer.
