Specific Capacity and Discharge into Well Relationship Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Capacity = Flow Discharge/Total drawdown at the well
K_s = Q_f/s_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Capacity - The Specific Capacity is referred as amount of water furnished under a standard unit head.
Flow Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Flow Discharge refers to the volume of water passing through a particular cross-section of a river or stream per unit of time. It is typically measured in (m³/s) or cubic feet per second (cfs).
Total drawdown at the well - (Measured in Meter) - Total drawdown at the well is the reduction in hydraulic head observed at a well in an aquifer.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flow Discharge: 30 Cubic Meter per Second --> 30 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Total drawdown at the well: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_s = Q_f/s_w --> 30/40

Evaluating ... ...

K_s = 0.75

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.75 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.75 <-- Specific Capacity

FAQ

What is Specific Capacity and Discharge into Well Relationship?

Specific Capacity and Discharge into Well Relationship is defined as the discharge per unit drawdown at the well or amount of water furnished under a standard unit head and is represented as K_s = Q_f/s_w or Specific Capacity = Flow Discharge/Total drawdown at the well. The Flow Discharge refers to the volume of water passing through a particular cross-section of a river or stream per unit of time. It is typically measured in (m³/s) or cubic feet per second (cfs) & Total drawdown at the well is the reduction in hydraulic head observed at a well in an aquifer.

How to calculate Specific Capacity and Discharge into Well Relationship?

Specific Capacity and Discharge into Well Relationship is defined as the discharge per unit drawdown at the well or amount of water furnished under a standard unit head is calculated using Specific Capacity = Flow Discharge/Total drawdown at the well. To calculate Specific Capacity and Discharge into Well Relationship, you need Flow Discharge (Q_f) & Total drawdown at the well (s_w). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Flow Discharge & Total drawdown at the well and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Specific Capacity?

In this formula, Specific Capacity uses Flow Discharge & Total drawdown at the well. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Specific Capacity = 1/((1/4*pi*Transmissivity)*(ln(2.25*Transmissivity*Time from start of pump/(Radius of the Pumping Well^2)*Storage Coefficient))+Well Constant C2*Flow Discharge)
Specific Capacity = Proportionality Constant/Area of the Well
