Module 4
Flow to Wells
• Preliminaries, Radial Flow and Well Function
• Non-dimensional Variables, Theis “Type”
curve, and Cooper-Jacob Analysis
• Aquifer boundaries, Recharge, Thiem equation
• Other “Type” curves
• Well Testing
• Last Comments
Instructor: Michael Brown

Learning Objectives
 Forward problem: Understand how to use the Hantush-
Jacob formula to predict properties of a confined aquifer
with leakage
 Inverse problem: Understand how to use Type curves for
a leaky confined aquifer to determine T, S, and B
 Understand how water flows to a well in an unconfined
aquifer
o Changes in the nature of flow with time
o How to use Type curves
Other Type-Curves
Given without Derivations
1. Leaky Confined Aquifer
• Hantush-Jacob Formula
• Appendix 3 of Fetter
ho -h =
Q
4pT
W(u,r B)
B =
Tb'
K ' “Type Curves” to determine T, S, and r/B
Drawdown reaches
“steady-state” when
recharge balances flow
Larger r/B -> smaller steady-state drawdown
Same curve matching exercise as with
Theis Type-curves
New dimensionless number
Large K’
makes r/B
large
Other Type-curves –
Given without Derivations
2. Unconfined Aquifer
• Neuman Formula
• Appendix 6 of Fetter
ho -h =
Q
4pT
W(uA,uB,G)
G =
r2
Kv
b2
Kh
uA =
r2
S
4Tt
uB =
r2
Sy
4Tt
Similar to Theis but more complicated:
1. Initial flow from elastic storage - S
2. Late time flow from gravity draining – Sy
• Remember: Sy>>S
3. Vertical and horizontal flow –
• Kv may differ from Kh
Three non-dimensional variables
Initial flow
from Storativity
Later flow from
gravity draining
Difference between
vertical and horizontal
conductivity is
important
Flow in Unconfined Aquifer
surface
Flow
from
elastic
storage
Vertical flow (gravity draining)
Horizontal flow induced by gradient in head
1. Elastic Storage
Time order
2. Flow from gravity
draining and
horizontal head
gradient
Start Pumping
Other Type-curves –
Given without Derivations
Two-step curve matching:
1. Fit early time data to A-
type curves
2. Fit late time data to B-
type curves
2. Unconfined Aquifer
• Neuman Formula
• Appendix 6 of Fetter
Theis curve using Elastic Storage
Theis curve using Specific Yield
Transition depends on ratio r2Kv/(Khb2)
Sy=104*S
Sy=103*S
The End: Other Type Curves
Coming up: Well Testing
