ABSTRACT

Example 4.8 Calculate the yield per hour from a well driven into a confined aquifer. The following data are available:

height of original piezometric level from the bed of the aquifer, H = 29.53 ft, thickness of aquifer, Ha = 16.41 ft, the depth of water in the well at steady state, ho= 18.05 ft, hydraulic conductivity of soil = 0.079 ftlmin, radius of well, ro= 3.94 in. (0.3283 ft), radius of influence, Ri = 574.2 ft.
