A new method for determining the productivity of interacting wells under alluvial ground flow conditions

Abstract

The issue of interaction of hydrogeological wells for groundwater was studied by Soviet scientists P. P. Kusakin [3], M. E. Al'tyuvskiy [1], P. P. Argunov [2] and others. They proposed a number of formulas, which are mainly used by hydrogeologists at present. However, these formulas, as is known, require quite a lot of time for calculations and in some cases do not give the desired results. This article briefly describes a new method for calculating the productivity of interacting wells drilled in an alluvial ground flow. Based on the obtained materials on wells located normally to the alluvial flow, a new empirical formula for calculating interacting wells is proposed. To derive the recommended formula, we will first provide a brief hydrogeological description of the water intake site.
