Thickness of Aquifer from Impermeable Layer given Drawdown in Well 1 Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Thickness of Aquifer = Depth of Water in Well 1+Drawdown in Well 1
H = h₁+s₁
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Thickness of Aquifer - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of aquifer refers to the vertical distance between the top and bottom boundaries of the water-bearing layer, typically measured from the confining bed above to the confining bed below.
Depth of Water in Well 1 - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Water in Well 1 refers to the vertical distance from the ground surface to the water level within a well that taps into a confined aquifer.
Drawdown in Well 1 - (Measured in Meter) - Drawdown in Well 1 refers to the reduction in water level caused by pumping in a well.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Depth of Water in Well 1: 17.85 Meter --> 17.85 Meter No Conversion Required
Drawdown in Well 1: 2.15 Meter --> 2.15 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = h₁+s₁ --> 17.85+2.15

Evaluating ... ...

H = 20

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

20 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

20 Meter <-- Thickness of Aquifer
