The depth of water in the well is 40 m before pumping is started. When pumping is being done at the rate of 2000 I/min, the drawdown in a well 10 m away is 4 m and in another well 20 m away is 2 m. Determine i) the radius of zero drawdown ii) coefficient of permeability ili) drawdown in the well. 12
