Specific Capacity given Drawdown Formula Elements

Variables
Specific Capacity
The Specific Capacity refers to the measure used in hydrogeology to evaluate the efficiency of a well, defined as the amount of water a well can produce per unit of drawdown.
Symbol: Sc
Measurement: Kinematic ViscosityUnit: m²/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Discharge
Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Symbol: Q
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Total Drawdown
The Total Drawdown in Well refers to the reduction in water level from the original, static level to the level during pumping.
Symbol: st
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Specific Capacity given Drawdown?

Specific Capacity given Drawdown evaluator uses Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown to evaluate the Specific Capacity, The Specific Capacity given Drawdown formula is defined as the measure of the well's ability to produce water, describing the relationship between the well's yield and the distance the water level is drawn down during pumping. Specific Capacity is denoted by Sc symbol.
