Abstract: | ABSTRACT: The non-steady drawdown distribution near a cavity well discharging from an infinite non-leaky artesian aquifer is presented. The variation of drawdown with time and distance caused by a cavity well of constant discharge in a confined aquifer of uniform thickness and uniform permeability is obtained. The solution is expressed in a series form which converges rapidly so that only two terms of the series are needed to obtain an accuracy of more than 95 percent. A simplified approach has been suggested to find the aquifer characteristics. |
