The following tests may be performed to get an idea of the probable yield of the well: 1. Pumping Test: The water level is depressed to an amount equal to the safe working head for the subsoil. Then the water level is kept constant by making the pumping rate equal to the percolation into the […]

The specific capacity (Q/sw) of a well is the discharge per unit drawdown in the well and is usually expressed in lpm/m. This is a measure of the effectiveness of a well. From Eqs. (4.78), (5.89) and (5.90). Which shows that the specific capacity of a well is not constant but decreases with the increase […]
How to Measure the Water Level in a Well? | Ground Water | Geography

Since the water level drops fast during the first one or two hours of the test, readings should be taken at short intervals which are gradually increased as the pumping continues. Fairly accurate measurements of water level can be made by using an electric sounder, by the wetted tape method (the steel tape is coloured […]
