Given an unconfined aquifer with a saturated thickness of 15 m, h0, as shown in Fig. 1. Observation wells are located at the radial distances of 30, 60, and 120 m from the center of pumping well.

Water is pumped at the rate of 0.015 m^3/sec. After pumping 12 hours, the drwdowns are z1=0.60 m at the radius r1= 30 m , z2 = 0.43 m at r2 = 60 m and z3= 0.26 m at r3 = 120 m.

1. Evaluate the permeability of the aquifer using all three combinations of selecting two observation wells in the computation.

2. How many laboratory permeability tests would be required to achieve the accuracy?

An unconfined aquifer made up of silt loam has an initial piezometric surface of 40 m. If wells 28 m and 15 m away from the pumping well have drawdowns of 4 m and 8 m, respectively, what is the pumping rate (m3/d) of the well? Based on this, if you wanted to keep the same drawdowns at the observation wells, but needed a drawdown of 10 m in your pumping well, what diameter would the pumping well casing need...

You are to build the oscillation transfer device shown in Fig. 15-25. It consists of two spring–block systems hanging from a flexible rod. When the spring of system 1 is stretched and then released, the resulting SHM of system 1 at frequency f1 oscillates the rod. The rod then exerts a driving force on system 2, at the same frequency f1. You can choose from four springs with spring constants k of 1600, 1500, 1400, and 1200 N/m, and four...
