Radius of Influence in Characteristic Well Losses Formulas

Radius of Influence refers to the maximum distance from a pumping well where the effects of pumping (such as drawdown) are significant, which helps in understanding the area affected. And is denoted by r_i. Radius of Influence is usually measured using the Meter for Length. Note that the value of Radius of Influence is always positive.
