This testcase demonstrates a situation where a well is pumping up ground water. A characteristic ground water level curve will form over time. File:Drainage freatic benchmark.png

Formulas

Stationary lowering of the ground water table in a closed water transmissive layer can be described by the following formula [1]

where:

: stable water level at the considered stable water table edge
: water level between the considered stable water table edge and the well
: water level in the well
: transmissivity of the aquifer in m² / day
: distance to the well
: distance of the considered stable water table edge to the well
: amount of water pumped out in m³ / day
