An unconfined aquifer made up of silt loam has an initialpiezometric surface of 40 m. If wells 28 m and 15 m away from thepumping well have drawdowns of 4 m and 8 m, respectively, what isthe pumping rate (m3/d) of the well?

Based on this, if you wanted to keep the same drawdowns at theobservation wells, but needed a drawdown of 10 m in your pumpingwell, what diameter would the pumping well casing need to be?
