INTRODUCTION :-A WATER WELL IS A HOLE CREATED IN THE GROUND, BY
DIGGING, OR DRILLING IN TO AN AQUIFER WITH A PIPE , A SCREEN
AND PUMP TO PULL WATER OUT OF THE GROUND .

BASIC ASSUMPTIONS1. The aquifer is bounded on the bottom by a confining layer.
2. All geological formations are horizontal and of infinite horizontal extent.
3. The potentiometric surface of the aquifer is horizontal prior to the start of the pumping.
4. The potentiometric surface of the aquifer is not changing with time prior to the start of the pumping.
5. All changes in the position of the potentiometric surface are due to the effect of the pumping well alone.
6. The aquifer is homogeneous and isotropic.

7. All flow is radial toward the well.
8. Groundwater flow is horizontal.
9. Darcy’s law is valid.
10. Groundwater has a constant density and viscosity.
11. The pumping well and the observation wells are fully penetrating; i.E., They are screened over the entire thickness of the aquifer.
12. The pumping well has an infinitesimal diameter and is 100% efficient

The Data Required For The Theis Solution Are :1 Drawdown Vs. Time Data At An Observation Well,
2 Distance From The Pumping Well To The Observation Well,
3 Pumping Rate Of The Well.

Field Data Plot On Logarithmic Paper For Theis Curve-marching Technique :The Field Measurements Are Similarly Plotted On A Log-log Plot With (T) Along The X-axis and (Sw) along the Y-axis

MATCH OF FIELD DATA PLOT TO THEIS TYPE CURVE : keeping the axes correctly aligned, superimposed the type curve on the plot of the data (the data analysis is done by matching the observed data to the type curve)select any convenient point on the graph paper (a match point) and read off thecoordinates of the point on both sets of axes. this gives coordinates ( 1/u, w(u)) and (t,sw) use the previous equations to determine t and s.

The log function lets us plot this as a straight line on semi-log paper Jacob method of solution of pumping-test data for a fully confined aquifer. Drawdown is plotted as a function of time on semi-logarithmic paper

Thiem equation for steady radial flow in confide aquifer :
• In the case of steady radial flow in a confide aquifer , the following assumptions are necessary :-
• 1- the aquifer is confide top and bottom
• 2- the well is pumped at a constant rate
• Equillibrium has been reached that is , there is no farther change in draw down with time.
• T= kb = Q/ 2 Π (σ1−σ2 ) ∗ λν ( ρ2/ρ1)
• η0−η = θ / 2 π τ ∗ λν ( ρ2/ρ1)

Unsteady radial flow in an unconfined aquifer(non-equilibrium radial flow)
• The flow of water in an unconfined aquifer toward a pumping well is described by the following
Equation (neuman & witherspoon 1969)
![Page 30: Chapter 5 Fetter Ground water flow to wells](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/55a5b0841a28ab817b8b459a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Neumann's solution assumes the following, in addition to the basic assumptions:
Flow description :Initial flow : the Theis – like ( horizontal ) from release of compression , specific storage component
Intermediate flow : has gravity drainage component ( both horizontal & vertical flow )
Late – time flow : becomes horizontal again from specific yield components

DESIGN OF PUMPING TESTS :PARAMETERS : . Test well location, depth, capacity (unless existing well used).. Observation well number, location, depth.. Pump regime
GENERAL GUIDANCE:• CONFINED AQUIFERS:
• Transmissivity more important than storativity: observation wells not always needed (although accuracy lost without them!).
• Unconfined aquifers: storativity much larger, and has influence over transmissivity estimates: observation wells important as is larger test duration. Care needed if aquifer only partly screened
![Page 39: Chapter 5 Fetter Ground water flow to wells](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042503/55a5b0841a28ab817b8b459a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
THE IMPORTANCE OF PUMPING TESTS* Pumping tests are carried out to determine:1- how much groundwater can be extracted from a well based on long-term yield, and well efficiency?2 - the hydraulic properties of an aquifer or aquifers.3 - spatial effects of pumping on the aquifer.4 - determine the suitable depth of pump.5- information on water quality and its variability with time.
