Functions
Aquifer Thickness
Aquifer Thickness (at Midpoint between Equipotential lines) or otherwise is the thickness of aquifer in which the pore spaces of rock forming the aquifer may or may not be with water.
Symbol: bw
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Discharge
Discharge is the flow rate of water that is extracted from or injected into a well.
Symbol: Q
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Coefficient of Permeability in Well Hydraulics
Coefficient of Permeability in Well Hydraulics of soil in well hydraulics describes how easily a liquid will move through the soil.
Symbol: KWH
Measurement: SpeedUnit: cm/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Total Drawdown
The Total Drawdown is defined as the reduction in hydraulic head observed at a well in an aquifer, typically due to pumping a well as part of an aquifer test or well test.
