A well is pumping at an unknown, steady rate in a confined aquifer. Near the pumping well are two observation wells; observation well A is located 8m from the pumping well and B is located 24m from the pump- ing well. The heads in these wells are hA = 134.20 and hB = 134.28 m. You know from prior pumping tests of the well that the well and the observation wells are screened in a confined aquifer with transmissivity T = 1200 m2/day.
