Specific Capacity per unit Well Area for Discharge from Open Well Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Capacity = Flow Discharge/(Area of the Well*Depression Head)
K_s = Q_f/(A*H)
This formula uses 4 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).
Area of the Well - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Area of the Well is referred as land area around a well that is influenced by pumping.
Depression Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Depression Head is defined as height of the bottom of a well above the datum.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flow Discharge: 30 Cubic Meter per Second --> 30 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Area of the Well: 20 Square Meter --> 20 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Depression Head: 7 Meter --> 7 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_s = Q_f/(A*H) --> 30/(20*7)

Evaluating ... ...

K_s = 0.214285714285714

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.214285714285714 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.214285714285714 ≈ 0.214286 <-- Specific Capacity

Proportionality Constant per unit Well Area of Aquifer

Go Proportionality Constant = Area of the Well*((1/Time Interval)*ln(Drawdown at the Start of Recuperation/Drawdown at a Time))

Equation for Time Interval

Go Time Interval = (Area of the Well/Proportionality Constant)*ln(Drawdown at the Start of Recuperation/Drawdown at a Time)

Area of Well given Time Interval

Go Area of the Well = Proportionality Constant*Time Interval/ln(Drawdown at the Start of Recuperation/Drawdown at a Time)

Discharge from Open Well under Depression Head

Go Yield from an Open Well = Specific Capacity*Area of the Well*Depression Head

Specific Capacity per unit Well Area for Discharge from Open Well Formula

Specific Capacity = Flow Discharge/(Area of the Well*Depression Head)
K_s = Q_f/(A*H)
