Variables Used

Residual Drawdown - Residual Drawdown is the change in groundwater level due to an applied stress after the cessation of the pumping.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Discharge refers to the volumetric flow rate of water that is transported through a given cross-sectional area. It includes any suspended solids, dissolved chemicals, or biologic material.
Transmissibility - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Transmissibility is most simply defined as the effective hydraulic conductivity of an aquifer or other water-bearing unit multiplied by the thickness of that unit.
Well Function of u - Well Function of u is the data plot of drawdown versus time (or drawdown versus t/rz) is matched to the type curve of W(u) versus 1/u.
Well Function after the Cessation of Pumping - Well Function after the Cessation of Pumping is the data plot of drawdown versus time easily calculates the exponential integral.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 3 Cubic Meter per Second --> 3 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Transmissibility: 3.5 Square Meter per Second --> 3.5 Square Meter per Second No Conversion Required
