Objectives: Determine the maximum pumping rate on a well
possible without drawing water from a lake or wetland.
1. There are times that you need to determine the maximum
pumping rate in a well that can be used without extracting water from a nearby
lake or wetland. This is a classic image
well problem. The foldable aquifer model
that is provided in the problem below asks you to solve this exact style of problem. Before pumping there is a gradient across the
confined aquifer that shows water is flowing toward the lake. Use the foldable aquifer model provided to answer
the following question
A. Determine the maximum pumping rate at the well that is
possible without drawing water from the lake.
