Aquifer Thickness in Characteristic Well Losses Formulas

The Aquifer Thickness (at Midpoint between Equipotential lines) refers to the thickness of aquifer in which the pore spaces of rock forming the aquifer may or may not be with water. And is denoted by b_w. Aquifer Thickness is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Aquifer Thickness is always positive.
