Specific Capacity under Unsteady Drawdown Conditions Formula Elements

Variables
Constants
Functions
Specific Capacity
The Specific Capacity is referred as amount of water furnished under a standard unit head.
Symbol: Ks
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Transmissivity
Transmissivity is the rate at which groundwater flows horizontally through an aquifer or the degree to which a medium allows something, in particular electromagnetic radiation, to pass through it.
Symbol: T
Measurement: Kinematic ViscosityUnit: m²/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Time from start of pump
The time from start of pump is the pumping started at the instant when the groundwater started to flow into the cone of depression.
Symbol: t
Measurement: TimeUnit: min
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Radius of the Pumping Well
The Radius of the Pumping Well refers to the physical radius of the well itself, typically measured from the center of the well to its outer edge.
Symbol: Rw
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Storage Coefficient
Storage Coefficient is the volume of water released from storage per unit decline in hydraulic head in the aquifer, per unit area of the aquifer.
Symbol: S
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Well Constant C2
The Well Constant C2 refers to the coefficient used in the equation for total drawdown in a well, representing the well losses due to turbulent flow and other factors within the well structure.
Symbol: C2
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Flow Discharge
The Flow Discharge refers to the volume of water passing through a particular cross-section of a river or stream per unit of time. It is typically measured in (m³/s) or cubic feet per second (cfs).
Symbol: Qf
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
ln
The natural logarithm, also known as the logarithm to the base e, is the inverse function of the natural exponential function.
Syntax: ln(Number)
