A fully penetrating well is installed in a homogeneous and isotropic confined aquifer. The aquifer has uniform thickness of 16 m and hydraulic conductivity of 25 m/d. Water is being pumped out from the well at a constant rate of 0.1 m
/s till steady state condition is reached. If a drawdown of 3.5 m is observed at a distance of 75 m from the well then the drawdown at a distance of 150 m from the well will be ________________ (in m, rounded off to two decimal places).Log in to check the answer
