Well Loss given Specific Capacity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Head Loss in Well = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Aquifer Loss
CQⁿ = (Q/S_c)-BQ
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Head Loss in Well - (Measured in Meter) - The Head Loss in Well refers to the difference between the head of the aquifer immediately outside and in the well a head inside because of all these losses.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
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.
Aquifer Loss - (Measured in Meter) - The Aquifer Loss refers to the reduction in the volume of water stored in an aquifer.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Specific Capacity: 0.037 Square Meter per Second --> 0.037 Square Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Aquifer Loss: 27.6 Meter --> 27.6 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

CQⁿ = (Q/S_c)-BQ --> (1.01/0.037)-27.6

Evaluating ... ...

CQⁿ = -0.302702702702703

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-0.302702702702703 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-0.302702702702703 ≈ -0.302703 Meter <-- Head Loss in Well

What is Well Loss?

When water is pumped out of a well, the total drawdown caused includes not only that of the logarithmic drawdown curve at the well face, but also drawdown caused by flow through well screen and axial movement within the well. The latter drawdown is called well loss.

How to Calculate Well Loss given Specific Capacity?

Well Loss given Specific Capacity calculator uses Head Loss in Well = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Aquifer Loss to calculate the Head Loss in Well, The Well Loss given Specific Capacity formula is defined as a measure of the reduction in well yield due to the resistance to flow within the well, which depends on the specific capacity of the well and the flow rate, providing valuable information for well design and management. Head Loss in Well is denoted by CQⁿ symbol.

How to calculate Well Loss given Specific Capacity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Well Loss given Specific Capacity, enter Discharge (Q), Specific Capacity (S_c) & Aquifer Loss (BQ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Well Loss given Specific Capacity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.167297 = (1.01/0.037)-27.6.
