Depletion of flow in right-angle stream bends by steady wells

摘要: The flow of a stream that is hydraulically connected to an aquifer can be reduced considerably by nearby pumping wells. Pumping such wells will either increase the infiltration from streams or decrease natural groundwater would have discharged into if had not been pumped, effect both processes at same time. depletion perennial yield sand. Consequently, greater supplies water obtained than available as alone in systems. Natural well artificial meeting approximately right angles are uncommon nature. Irrigation and drainage canals, having trellis pattern, examples occurrence. Wells for domestic irrigation use often installed near streams. Rational estimates rate depleting therefore practical interest. Formulas estimating volume systems developed terms extensively tabulated functions.
