Abstract:
A generalized discrete kernel approach has been used to analyse the effect of both production well storage and observation well storage on drawdown at any point in the aquifer during pumping and recovery.Non-dimensional time-drawdown plots have been presented for four different combinations of a production well and an observation well, which may or may not have storage. The non-dimensional time-drawdown plots include the response of the aquifer during the recovery phase. The contribution from the observation well storage to the aquifer during pumping, and the replenishment of the observation well storage during recovery have been presented for specific cases.
