Multi-wells are used for dewatering at an excavation site. The dimension of the excavation pit is 150 m × 200 m. The height of the phreatic level above the impermeable layer before pumping is 15 m. The height of the phreatic level at the center of excavation pit after pumping is 6 m. The soil permeability k = 2.3×10-5 m/s. The wells have a diameter of 200 mm. Determine the number of wells required for this dewatering project
