Question
A well of 0.1 m radius is part of a wellpoint network to keep an excavation dry. The groundwater at the far edge of the excavation must be 0.5 m below the base. calculate the radius of influence and the maximum drawdown anplot the drawdown curve. For the radius of influnce calculate the discharge if the well radius increase to 0.2 m, and compare it to the discharge for the 0.1 m radius well.
