Specific Capacity in Characteristic Well Losses Formulas

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. And is denoted by S_c. Specific Capacity is usually measured using the Square Meter per Second for Kinematic Viscosity. Note that the value of Specific Capacity is always positive.

FAQ

What is the 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. Specific Capacity is usually measured using the Square Meter per Second for Kinematic Viscosity. Note that the value of Specific Capacity is always positive.

Can the Specific Capacity be negative?

No, the Specific Capacity, measured in Kinematic Viscosity cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Specific Capacity?

Specific Capacity is usually measured using the Square Meter per Second[m²/s] for Kinematic Viscosity. Square Meter per Hour[m²/s], Square Centimeter per Second[m²/s], Square Millimeter per Second[m²/s] are the few other units in which Specific Capacity can be measured.
