What is Radius of Influence?
The radius of influence is the distance from a pumping well to the point where the drawdown, or lowering of the water table, becomes negligible. It represents the area affected by the well's pumping, determined by factors like aquifer properties, pumping rate, and duration. The radius of influence is critical in groundwater management for ensuring proper well spacing and assessing the impact of pumping on nearby wells and the environment. It helps to understand the zone of depletion and the well's efficiency in drawing water from an aquifer.
How to Calculate Discharge for Partially Penetrating Well?
Discharge for Partially Penetrating Well calculator uses Discharge for Partially Penetrating Well = (2*pi*Coefficient of Permeability*Aquifer Thickness*(Initial Piezometric Surface-Depth of Water)*Correction Factor)/(log((Radius of Influence/Radius of Well),e)) to calculate the Discharge for Partially Penetrating Well, Discharge for Partially Penetrating Well formula is defined as the rate of flow of water from a well that partially penetrates an aquifer, taking into account the hydraulic conductivity, thickness of the aquifer, and the distance from the well to the boundary of the aquifer. Discharge for Partially Penetrating Well is denoted by Qv symbol.
How to calculate Discharge for Partially Penetrating Well using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Discharge for Partially Penetrating Well, enter Coefficient of Permeability (K), Aquifer Thickness (b), Initial Piezometric Surface (H), Depth of Water (hw), Correction Factor (G), Radius of Influence (R) & Radius of Well (r) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Discharge for Partially Penetrating Well calculation can be explained with given input values -> 34.32013 = (2*pi*0.00105*15*(20-2.44)*0.83)/(log((100/2.94),e)).
