A well is constructed to pump water from a confined aquifer. Two observation wells, MW1 and MW2, are constructed at distances of 100 m and 1000 m respectively. Water is pumped from the pumping well at a rate of 0.2 m3 /min. At steady state, drawdown is observed as 2 m in MW2 and 8 m in MW1. Determine the hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity, if the aquifer is 20 m thick.
