The radius of influence of this well can be taken as 3,000 m. What is the steady state drawdown of the well, if the average water use by the factory is 360 L/min. A plume of TCE-contaminated groundwater lies 800 m from the well. How fast is the TCE plume moving towards the well? Neglect any movement that may be due to regional groundwater flow and consider only the influence of well pumping at hydraulic steady state.
The owner of a small factory has installed a new well to supply process water.
The well is 0.3 m in diameter and is fully screened for the entire 12 m depth of the aquifer, which is composed of coarse sand having a bulk density of 2 g/cm3, K of 0.1 cm/sec, porosity of 0.25 and organic content of 0.5%.
The radius of influence of this well can be taken as 3,000 m. What is the steady state drawdown of the well, if the average water use by the factory is 360 L/min.
A plume of TCE-contaminated groundwater lies 800 m from the well. How fast is the TCE plume moving towards the well? Neglect any movement that may be due to regional groundwater flow and consider only the influence of well pumping at hydraulic steady state.
