) A well of size 6.60 x 4.05 m and depth 4.7 m in the lateritic soil near Mangalore (west coast of India) has its normal water level at 3.825 m below ground level (bgl). By pumping for 1 hours, the water level (bgl) was depressed to 4.525 m and the pumping was stopped. The recuperation rates of the well during 24 hours after the pumping stopped are given below. The total volume of water pumped during 1½ hours of pumping was 28.87 m³ (no well steining is provided)
