What is Radius of Well?

The radius of a well refers to the horizontal distance from the center of the well to its inner wall, essentially the well’s radius. This dimension is crucial in groundwater studies for calculating various hydraulic properties such as the well's capacity, discharge rate, and drawdown. It also plays a role in determining the well's design and construction parameters, ensuring proper water flow and minimizing the effects of clogging. The radius of the well impacts the efficiency of water extraction and the overall performance of the well in an aquifer.
