Well Parameter Formula Elements

Variables
Well Parameter
Well Parameter is the characteristics and property that govern how water levels in a well change over time when water is being pumped.
Symbol: u
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Distance from Pumping Well
Distance from Pumping Well is the horizontal distance between a specific point in an aquifer and the location of a pumping well. It influences the behavior of groundwater flow.
Symbol: r
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.
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 Period
Time Period is the duration over which groundwater observations, measurements, or modeling simulations are conducted. It can vary from short-term periods to long-term periods.
Symbol: t
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

How to Evaluate Well Parameter?

Well Parameter evaluator uses Well Parameter = (Distance from Pumping Well^2*Storage Coefficient)/(4*Transmissivity*Time Period) to evaluate the Well Parameter, The Well Parameter formula is defined as an essential property of the well function represented by a number of series to significant digits, rarely exceeding 4. Well Parameter is denoted by u symbol.

How to evaluate Well Parameter using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Well Parameter, enter Distance from Pumping Well (r), Storage Coefficient (S), Transmissivity (T) & Time Period (t) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Well Parameter

What is the formula to find Well Parameter?
The formula of Well Parameter is expressed as Well Parameter = (Distance from Pumping Well^2*Storage Coefficient)/(4*Transmissivity*Time Period). Here is an example- 0.133741 = (3^2*85)/(4*11*130).
How to calculate Well Parameter?
With Distance from Pumping Well (r), Storage Coefficient (S), Transmissivity (T) & Time Period (t) we can find Well Parameter using the formula - Well Parameter = (Distance from Pumping Well^2*Storage Coefficient)/(4*Transmissivity*Time Period).
