Section 5: Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Wells and Pumps

Subtopic: Steady flow through wells

Question Statement:

For the pumping well described in the previous problem, where formation aquifer drawdown is $B Q = 0.60\text{ m}$ and total drawdown is $s_w = 0.80\text{ m}$, the well efficiency ($\eta_w = \frac{B Q}{s_w} \times 100$) expressed in percentage is ________ (answer in integer).

Answer Key:

75

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Well efficiency is defined as the ratio of laminar aquifer formation loss to total well drawdown: $\eta_w = \frac{B Q}{s_w} \times 100$ $\eta_w = \frac{0.60}{0.80} \times 100 = 75\%$
