STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Specific Capacity = Pumping Rate/Drawdown Inside the Well
K_s = q/s_t
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Specific Capacity - The Specific Capacity is referred as amount of water furnished under a standard unit head.
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).
Drawdown Inside the Well - (Measured in Meter) - The Drawdown Inside the Well refers to the radius of the pumping well is a change in groundwater level due to an applied stress.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Pumping Rate: 7 Cubic Meter per Second --> 7 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Drawdown Inside the Well: 9 Meter --> 9 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

K_s = q/s_t --> 7/9

Evaluating ... ...

K_s = 0.777777777777778

What is Specific Capacity?

Specific Capacity is the amount of water that is furnished under unit lowering of the surface of the water in a well by pumping.

How to Calculate Specific Capacity?

Specific Capacity calculator uses Specific Capacity = Pumping Rate/Drawdown Inside the Well to calculate the Specific Capacity, The Specific Capacity formula is defined as the amount of water furnished under a standard unit head which is a short-term sustainable discharge divided by the drawdown yielding the discharge. Specific Capacity is denoted by K_s symbol.

How to calculate Specific Capacity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Capacity, enter Pumping Rate (q) & Drawdown Inside the Well (s_t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Specific Capacity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.777778 = 7/9.

FAQ

What is Specific Capacity?

The Specific Capacity formula is defined as the amount of water furnished under a standard unit head which is a short-term sustainable discharge divided by the drawdown yielding the discharge and is represented as K_s = q/s_t or Specific Capacity = Pumping Rate/Drawdown Inside the Well. 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) & The Drawdown Inside the Well refers to the radius of the pumping well is a change in groundwater level due to an applied stress.

How to calculate Specific Capacity?

The Specific Capacity formula is defined as the amount of water furnished under a standard unit head which is a short-term sustainable discharge divided by the drawdown yielding the discharge is calculated using Specific Capacity = Pumping Rate/Drawdown Inside the Well. To calculate Specific Capacity, you need Pumping Rate (q) & Drawdown Inside the Well (s_t). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Pumping Rate & Drawdown Inside the Well and hit the calculate button.
