  2. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(hydrology)

    In surface water hydrology and civil engineering, drawdown refers to the lowering of the surface elevation of a body of water, the water table, the piezometric surface, or the water surface of a well, as a result of the withdrawal of water. [1] In either case, drawdown is the change in hydraulic head or water level relative to the initial ...

  3. Watertable control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watertable_control

    In geotechnical engineering, watertable control is the practice of controlling the height of the water table by drainage.Its main applications are in agricultural land (to improve the crop yield using agricultural drainage systems) and in cities to manage the extensive underground infrastructure that includes the foundations of large buildings, underground transit systems, and extensive ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewatering

    Pumps being used to dewater a spillway at Baldhill Dam. Dewatering / d iː ˈ w ɔː t ər ɪ ŋ / is the removal of water from a location. This may be done by wet classification, centrifugation, filtration, or similar solid-liquid separation processes, such as removal of residual liquid from a filter cake by a filter press as part of various industrial processes.

  8. Aquifer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_test

    When water is pumped from the pumping well the pressure in the aquifer that feeds that well declines. This decline in pressure will show up as drawdown (change in hydraulic head) in an observation well. Drawdown decreases with radial distance from the pumping well and drawdown increases with the length of time that the pumping continues.
