Example

A pumping test was performed in a well penetrating a confined aquifer to evaluate the coefficient of permeability of the soil in the aquifer.

When equilibrium flow was reached, the following data were obtained: Equilibrium discharge of water from the well = 200

gal/min. Water levels (h1 and h2) = 15 and 19 ft at distances

from the well (r1 and r2) of 60 and 180 ft, respectively. Thickness of aquifer = 20 ft

Coefficient of permeability of the soil in the aquifer?

A nonhomogeneous soil consisting of layers of soil with different permeabilities.

Average coefficient of permeability in the horizontal direction and vertical direction

1.5 m

2.0 m

2.5 m

Kx = 1.2 x 10-3 cm/sKy = 2.4 x 10-4 cm/s

Kx = 2.8 x 10-4 cm/sKy = 3.1 x 10-5 cm/s

Kx = 5.5 x 10-5 cm/sKy = 4.7 x 10-6 cm/s
