Specific Capacity given Drawdown Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown in Well
Sc = Q/st
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Specific Capacity - (Measured in Square Meter per Second) - Specific Capacity is the quantity that which a water well can produce per unit of drawdown.
Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Total Drawdown in Well - (Measured in Meter) - The Total Drawdown in Well is defined as the reduction in hydraulic head observed at a well in an aquifer, typically due to pumping a well as part of an aquifer test or well test.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Discharge: 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.01 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Total Drawdown in Well: 0.83 Meter --> 0.83 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Sc = Q/st --> 1.01/0.83
Evaluating ... ...
Sc = 1.21686746987952
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
1.21686746987952 Square Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
1.21686746987952 1.216867 Square Meter per Second <-- Specific Capacity
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

7 Specific Capacity of Well Calculators

Aquifer Loss Coefficient given Specific Capacity
Go Aquifer Loss Coefficient = ((Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Head Loss in well)/Discharge
Specific Capacity given Aquifer Loss
Go Specific Capacity = (Discharge/(Head Loss in well+Aquifer loss))
Well Discharge given Specific Capacity
Go Discharge = Specific Capacity*(Head Loss in well+Aquifer loss)
Aquifer Loss given Specific Capacity
Go Aquifer loss = (Discharge/Specific Capacity)-Head Loss in well
Drawdown given Specific Capacity of Well
Go Total Drawdown in Well = Discharge/Specific Capacity
Discharge given Specific Capacity
Go Discharge = Specific Capacity*Total Drawdown in Well
Specific Capacity given Drawdown
Go Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown in Well

Specific Capacity given Drawdown Formula

Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown in Well
Sc = Q/st

What is Specific Capacity?

Specific capacity is a quantity that which a water well can produce per unit of drawdown. It is normally obtained from a step drawdown test.

How to Calculate Specific Capacity given Drawdown?

Specific Capacity given Drawdown calculator uses Specific Capacity = Discharge/Total Drawdown in Well to calculate the Specific Capacity, The Specific Capacity given Drawdown is defined as the value of specific capacity when we have prior information of other parameters used. Specific Capacity is denoted by Sc symbol.

How to calculate Specific Capacity given Drawdown using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Specific Capacity given Drawdown, enter Discharge (Q) & Total Drawdown in Well (st) and hit the calculate button.
