1. Your neighbor and you each have groundwater wells that you use to irrigate your fields. You both draw from an unconfined aquifer. Your well has a radius of 0.05m, your neighbors well is located 50m away. The hydraulic conductivity of the soil is 10-3m/d.

a.) Assuming you pump at a rate of 3m3/day and measure the head in your well to be

15m, what will be the steady-state head of the water in your neighbors well when they are not pumping?

b.) What will be the seepage velocity of the water toward your well assuming a porosity

of the soil of 0.27.
