Drawdown in aquifer caused by pumping at any point in aquifer Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Possible Drawdown in Confined Aquifer = Pumping Rate*Time Period/(Transmissivity*Storage Coefficient*Distance from Pumping Well^2)
s' = q*t/(τ*S*r^2)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Possible Drawdown in Confined Aquifer - (Measured in Meter) - Possible Drawdown in Confined Aquifer is the drawdown that would have occurred if the aquifer had been confined (that is, if no dewatering had occurred).
Pumping Rate - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Pumping Rate is referred as volume of water (or other fluid) that is pumped per unit of time. It’s typically measured in units like liters per second (L/s) or cubic meters per hour (m³/h).
Time Period - (Measured in Second) - Time Period (pumping has been in Progress) or Time can be defined as the ongoing and continuous sequence of events that occur in succession, from the past through the present to the future.
Transmissivity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The Transmissivity refers to the measure of how much water can be transmitted horizontally through an aquifer is the product of the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer and its saturated thickness.
Storage Coefficient - Storage Coefficient is the volume of water released from storage per unit decline in hydraulic head in the aquifer, per unit area of the aquifer.
Distance from Pumping Well - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Pumping Well to the point where drawdown occurs.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pumping Rate: 7 Cubic Meter per Second --> 7 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Time Period: 30 Second --> 30 Second No Conversion Required
Transmissivity: 1.4 Square Meter per Second --> 1.4 Square Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Storage Coefficient: 85 --> No Conversion Required
Distance from Pumping Well: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s' = q*t/(τ*S*r^2) --> 7*30/(1.4*85*3^2)

Evaluating ... ...

s' = 0.196078431372549

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.196078431372549 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.196078431372549 ≈ 0.196078 Meter <-- Possible Drawdown in Confined Aquifer

What is Drawdown ?

Drawdown is a term applied to the maximum lowering of the groundwater table caused by pumping or artesian flow. It is measured as the difference between the initial level of water in a well before pumping, and the static, or stabilized, level of water after a long period of pumping

What is an aquifer?

An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials. Groundwater from aquifers can be extracted using a water well. The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydrogeology.

How to Calculate Drawdown in aquifer caused by pumping at any point in aquifer?
