(i)

Radius of circle influence

300m

(ii)

Thickness of confined aquifer

40m

(iii)

Yield required

.20 cumecs

(iv)

80m/day

(v)

Drawdown

1.5m

Question# 5
Design the tubewell for the following data?

Solution
Given q=0.20 m3/sec , b= 40m , k= 80m/day = .000925925 m/sec , r e =300 m ,he
=40m
drawdown= 1.5m and hw= (40-1.5)=38.5m
Equation of discharge in confined aquifer is given by

Substitute the given value in Eq. (i) , we get

.20

2 x 3 .1416 x .000925925 ( 4038.5 ) x 40

300
loge (
)
rw

log e (300/rw)=1.7453

(300/rw)= 5.7276

rw = 52.378 m = 5237.80 cm
