A confined aquifer with transmissivity 7.0x10-3 m2/s and storativity 5.0x10-4 is pumped by two wells 35 m apart. One well is pumped at 7.6 liter/s and one at 15.2 liter/s. Plot the drawdown ho-h as a function of position along the line joining the two wells at a time 4 hours after the start of pumping.

Question

A confined aquifer with T = 7.0 x 10-3 m2/s and S = 5 x 10-4 is pumped by two wells, 35 m apart. One

well is pumped at 7.6 L/s and one at 15.2 L/s. Plot the drawdown h0-h versus distance along a line

joining the wells, 4 hours after the start of pumping. Use 5 m increments along the line.

How would I go about this question if my initial r1 would equal 0 and and r2 would equal 35m additionally how would I get the pumping rates at each 5 m increments. 

overall please give a step by step on how I Would go about this question 

A confined aquifer with transmissivity 7.0x10-3 m2/s and storativity 5.0x10-4 is pumped by two
wells 35 m apart. One well is pumped at 7.6 liter/s and one at 15.2 liter/s. Plot the drawdown ho-h
as a function of position along the line joining the two wells at a time 4 hours after the start of
pumping.
