The following tests may be performed to get an idea of the probable yield of the well: 1. Pumping Test: The water level is depressed to an amount equal to the safe working head for the subsoil. Then the water level is kept constant by making the pumping rate equal to the percolation into the […]

The specific capacity (Q/sw) of a well is the discharge per unit drawdown in the well and is usually expressed in lpm/m. This is a measure of the effectiveness of a well. From Eqs. (4.78), (5.89) and (5.90). Which shows that the specific capacity of a well is not constant but decreases with the increase […]

The following article will guide you about how to construct infiltration gallery with the help of suitable diagrams. Infiltration gallery is a horizontal perforated or porous pipe which opens joints, surrounded by a gravel filter envelope laid in a permeable aquifer with a high water table and a continuous recharge with a perennial flow. Infiltration […]
