How to Calculate the Specific Capacity of a Well? | Ground Water
Article shared by : 
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 […]
