Abstract

Formulas involving the discharge of wells are being given increasing use in quantitative ground‐water hydrology. The formulas are generally used in one of two ways, namely: (1) To determine the coefficients of storage and transmissibility of water‐bearing materials; or (2) to determine the drawdown of the ground‐water level caused by the discharge of a well or group of wells. The formulas necessarily are based on assumptions of ideal conditions that are rarely found in nature; thus, much of the work of the ground‐water hydrologist deals with interpreting the effect on the solutions given by the formulas of the differences between the field and assumed conditions.
