Drawdown in a well of large diameter

Istavros S. Papadopulos, Hilton H. Cooper

Abstract

A solution for the drawdown in a large‐diameter well discharging at a constant rate from a homogeneous isotropic artesian aquifer, which also takes into consideration the water derived from storage within the well, is presented. A set of type curves computed from this solution permits a determination of the transmissibility of the aquifer by analysis of drawdown observed in the pumped well.
