For starters I am having trouble developing a spreadsheet solution using the Dupuit equation to estimate discharge and the shape of the parabola.

The other is well...heres the situation:-
2 wells 350m apart with the bottom located at a depth of 100m (OB1) and 75m (OB2) from the water table, in a 120m thick unconfined aquifer. The depth to water table is 10m (OB1) and 20m (OB2). K=6.1*10-5m/sec.
What is the height of the water table mid-way between the 2 wells? and the quantity of seepage through a section 8m wide (in m3/year)?
Possible exam question which has me a bit stumped!
