Water-well performance

Calculate drawdown and specific capacity, and compare a compatible baseline.

Inputs are sent to the server for this calculation without being saved or added to the URL. Saving a scenario stores it only in this browser.

Calculation inputs

Enter decimals with a point or comma, without thousands separators. Blank optional values stay unknown.

m³/hgreater than: 0 · maximum: 1,000,000
mminimum: 0 · maximum: 30,000
mminimum: 0 · maximum: 30,000
hgreater than: 0 · maximum: 8,784
m³/h/mgreater than: 0 · maximum: 1,000,000,000
Clear inputs

Example inputs are illustrative, not data from a real well.

Formula and assumptions

Enter depths below the same measuring point. Compare only tests with compatible flow, duration and aquifer conditions. Specific capacity depends on the test; it does not establish sustainable yield, aquifer transmissivity or a maintenance diagnosis.

s = pumpingLevel − staticLevel; SC = Q / s; change = 100 × (SC / SC₀ − 1)
