The Thiem equation for steady state flow to a well in a confined aquifer:

𝑄=2𝜋𝐾𝑏(ℎ_2−ℎ_1 )/𝑙𝑛(𝑟_2∕𝑟_1 ) =2𝜋𝑇(ℎ_2−ℎ_1 )/𝑙𝑛(𝑟_2∕𝑟_1 )

𝑇=𝑄/2𝜋(ℎ_2−ℎ_1 ) 𝑙𝑛 𝑟_2/𝑟_1 ℎ_1=ℎ_2−𝑄/2𝜋𝑇 𝑙𝑛 ℎ_2=𝑄/2𝜋𝑇 𝑙𝑛 𝑟_2/𝑟_1

𝑟_2/𝑟_1 +ℎ_1

Key assumptions:
Isotropic, homogeneous, infinite, confined aquifer of uniform thickness.
Near-horizontal piezometric surface prior to pumping at a constant discharge rate.
Fully penetrating well receives water by horizontal flow.
The flow to the well is in steady state.
