Effects of Ignoring Well Losses on the Specific Capacity Function

by Otto J. Helweg, (F.ASCE),
Timothy Mays,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: North American Water and Environment Congress & Destructive Water

Abstract:

This paper combines these equations with the traditional step-drawdown equation to generate a more realistic relationship among discharge, specific capacity, and drawdown. Under both confined and unconfined conditions, the relationships are non-linear. Understanding this may assist in a more cost effective well design.
