Aquifer Loss given Specific Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Aquifer Loss = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Head Loss in Well
BQ = (Q/S_c)-CQⁿ
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Aquifer Loss - (Measured in Meter) - The Aquifer Loss refers to the reduction in the volume of water stored in an aquifer.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Specific Capacity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The Specific Capacity refers to the measure used in hydrogeology to evaluate the efficiency of a well, defined as the amount of water a well can produce per unit of drawdown.
Head Loss in Well - (Measured in Meter) - The Head Loss in Well refers to the difference between the head of the aquifer immediately outside and in the well a head inside because of all these losses.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Specific Capacity: 0.037 Square Meter per Second --> 0.037 Square Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Head Loss in Well: 0.52 Meter --> 0.52 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

BQ = (Q/S_c)-CQⁿ --> (1.01/0.037)-0.52

Evaluating ... ...

BQ = 26.7772972972973

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

26.7772972972973 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

26.7772972972973 ≈ 26.7773 Meter <-- Aquifer Loss

What is Aquifer?

An aquifer is a body of rock and/or sediment that holds groundwater. Groundwater is the word used to describe precipitation that has infiltrated the soil beyond the surface and collected in empty spaces underground.

How to Calculate Aquifer Loss given Specific Capacity?

Aquifer Loss given Specific Capacity calculator uses Aquifer Loss = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Head Loss in Well to calculate the Aquifer Loss, The Aquifer Loss given Specific Capacity formula is defined as the measure of the loss of water in an aquifer due to the pumping of a well, which affects the groundwater flow and the overall water supply and is an important parameter in groundwater hydrology and well design. Aquifer Loss is denoted by BQ symbol.

How to calculate Aquifer Loss given Specific Capacity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Aquifer Loss given Specific Capacity, enter Discharge (Q), Specific Capacity (S_c) & Head Loss in Well (CQⁿ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Aquifer Loss given Specific Capacity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 26.7773 = (1.01/0.037)-0.52.
