  2. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

    The diaphragm or bladder may itself exert a pressure on the water, but it is usually small and will be neglected in the following discussion. Case 1 is an empty tank at the charging pressure P c (gauge). The total volume of the tank is V t. Case 2 is a tank in use, with the air pressure at pressure P (gauge) and a water volume of V

  3. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

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

    In subsurface hydrogeology, drawdown is the reduction in hydraulic head observed at a well in an aquifer, typically due to pumping a well as part of an aquifer test or well test. 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 ...

  4. Well test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_test

    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.

  5. Bladder tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bladder_Tank

    Bladder tanks have many capacities ranging from 500 liter up to 1 million liters. Liquid stored in a flexible bladder tank does not evaporate and any odor it may produce is completely sealed within the tank. Because the bladder tank works in a vacuum, contaminants cannot enter, what you put in is what you get out. [5]

  6. Shadoof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadoof

    A shadoof or shaduf, [1] well pole, well sweep, sweep, [2] swape, [3] or simply a lift [4] is a tool that is used to lift water from a well or another water source onto land or into another waterway or basin. It is highly efficient, and has been known since 3000 BCE.

  7. Soil and Water Assessment Tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_and_Water_Assessment_Tool

    Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a free and open source hydrology model and GIS computer simulation sponsored by the USDA. SWAT is a well known geographic hydrological model in use by many universities and government agencies around the world, and integrates with commercial products like ArcGIS .

  8. Cone of depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_of_depression

    In confined aquifers , the cone of depression is a reduction in the pressure head surrounding the pumped well. When a well is pumped, the water level in the well is lowered. By lowering this water level, a gradient occurs between the water in the surrounding aquifer and the water in the well. Because water flows from high to low water levels or ...

  9. Pumpjack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

    A pumpjack is the overground drive for a reciprocating piston pump in an oil well. [1] It is used to mechanically lift liquid out of the well if there is not enough bottom hole pressure for the liquid to flow all the way to the surface. The arrangement is often used for onshore wells. Pumpjacks are common in oil-rich areas.
