Specific Capacity given Drawdown Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown
S_c = Q/s_t
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Capacity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - The Specific Capacity refers to the measure used in hydrogeology to evaluate the efficiency of a well, defined as the amount of water a well can produce per unit of drawdown.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Total Drawdown - (Measured in Meter) - The Total Drawdown in Well refers to the reduction in water level from the original, static level to the level during pumping.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Total Drawdown: 28 Meter --> 28 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_c = Q/s_t --> 1.01/28

Evaluating ... ...

S_c = 0.0360714285714286

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0360714285714286 Square Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0360714285714286 ≈ 0.036071 Square Meter per Second <-- Specific Capacity

What is Specific Capacity?

Specific capacity is a quantity that which a water well can produce per unit of drawdown. It is normally obtained from a step drawdown test.

How to Calculate Specific Capacity given Drawdown?

Specific Capacity given Drawdown calculator uses Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown to calculate the Specific Capacity, The Specific Capacity given Drawdown formula is defined as the measure of the well's ability to produce water, describing the relationship between the well's yield and the distance the water level is drawn down during pumping. Specific Capacity is denoted by S_c symbol.

How to calculate Specific Capacity given Drawdown using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Capacity given Drawdown, enter Discharge (Q) & Total Drawdown (s_t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Capacity given Drawdown calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.036071 = 1.01/28.

FAQ

What is Specific Capacity given Drawdown?

The Specific Capacity given Drawdown formula is defined as the measure of the well's ability to produce water, describing the relationship between the well's yield and the distance the water level is drawn down during pumping and is represented as S_c = Q/s_t or Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown. Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid & The Total Drawdown in Well refers to the reduction in water level from the original, static level to the level during pumping.

How to calculate Specific Capacity given Drawdown?

The Specific Capacity given Drawdown formula is defined as the measure of the well's ability to produce water, describing the relationship between the well's yield and the distance the water level is drawn down during pumping is calculated using Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown. To calculate Specific Capacity given Drawdown, you need Discharge (Q) & Total Drawdown (s_t). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Discharge & Total Drawdown 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?
