Hydraulic of Well - Artesian Well Rate of Flow Calculator
Rate of Flow Formula
Rate of Flow (\( q \)):
\[ q = \frac{2 \pi K d (H - h)}{\log_e \frac{R}{r}} \]
Where:
- \( q \) is the rate of flow, in cubic meters per second (m³/s).
- \( K \) is the hydraulic conductivity, in meters per second (m/s).
- \( d \) is the thickness of the confined layer, in meters (m).
- \( H \) is the height of the static piezometric surface above the top of the water-bearing formation, in meters (m).
- \( h \) is the height of the water in the well above the top of the water-bearing formation, in meters (m).
- \( R \) is the radius of influence, in meters (m).
- \( r \) is the radius of the well, in meters (m).
