S1 and S2 are the draw downs in an observation well at times t1 and t2 after pumping. For discharge Q and coefficient of transmissibility T, the relationship, is

A. ` S_2 - S_1 = (2.3 Q)/(pi t) log _10 `` t_2/t_1`
B. ` S_2 - S_1 = (2.3 Q)/(4pi t) log _10 `` t_2/t_1`
C. ` S_2 - S_1 = (2.3 Q)/(4pi t) log _10 `` t_2/t_1`
D. ` S_2 - S_1 = (2.3 Q)/(4pi t) log _10 `` t_1/t_2`
