A well is constructed to pump water from a confined aquifer. Two observation wells, MW1 and MW2, are constructed at distances of 10 m and 100 m, respectively. Water is pumped from the pumping well at a rate of 0.4 m³/min. At steady state, drawdown is observed as 6 m in MW2 and 18 m in MW1. Note that drawdown is greater for well MW1 located closest to the pumping well. Determine the Transmissivity (cm²/s) if the aquifer is 40 m thick. (Please enter your answers with 2 decimals)

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.
