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 ...
In hydrology, a well test is conducted to evaluate the amount of water that can be pumped from a particular water well.More specifically, a well test will allow prediction of the maximum rate at which water can be pumped from a well, and the distance that the water level in the well will fall for a given pumping rate and duration of pumping.
Drawdown charts are rectangular pieces of non-fluorescent paper [1] which are used to test a variety of coating properties. These properties include opacity , spreading rate , penetration, and flow & leveling behavior. [ 2 ]

Drawdown (climate), the point at which greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere begin to decline; Drawdown (economics), decline in the value of an investment, below its all-time high; Drawdown (hydrology), a lowering of a reservoir or a change in hydraulic head in an aquifer, typically due to pumping a well
Water cooling is a method of heat removal from components of machinery and industrial equipment. Water may be a more efficient heat transfer fluid where air cooling is ineffective. In most occupied climates water offers the thermal conductivity advantages of a liquid with unusually high specific heat capacity and the option that of evaporative ...
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.
The source and sink composite curves is a graphical tool for setting water recovery targets as well as for design of water recovery networks. [5] A 2018 study found by water pinch and water footprint analysis that for bricks with typical materials of clay and shale, the water consumption footprint was 2.02 L of water per brick. [6]
