STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Permeability in Well Hydraulics: 10 Centimeter per Second --> 0.1 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Unconfined Aquifer: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Depth of Water: 2.44 Meter --> 2.44 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Influence: 8.6 Meter --> 8.6 Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Well: 7.5 Meter --> 7.5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = (pi*K_WH*(H^2-h_w^2))/(log((R_w/r),e)) --> (pi*0.1*(5^2-2.44^2))/(log((8.6/7.5),e))

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 0.818911020627159

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.818911020627159 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.818911020627159 ≈ 0.818911 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Discharge

What is Discharge?

The amount of fluid passing a section of a stream in unit time is called the discharge. If v is the mean velocity and A is the cross sectional area, the discharge Q is defined by Q = Av which is known as volume flow rate.
