  2. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

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

    Static level is the level of water in the well when no water is being removed from the well by pumping. [8] Water table is the upper level of the zone of saturation, an underground surface in which the soil or rock is permanently saturated with water. [9] Well yield is the volume of water per unit time that is produced by the well from pumping. [8]

  3. Aquifer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_test

    the well has zero radius (it is approximated as a vertical line) — therefore no water can be stored in the well, the well has a constant pumping rate Q, the head loss over the well screen is negligible, aquifer is infinite in radial extent, horizontal (not sloping), flat, impermeable (non-leaky) top and bottom boundaries of aquifer,

  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.

    Man cleaning a well in Yaoundé, Cameroon Hand pump to pump water from a well in a village near Chennai in India, where the well water might be polluted by nearby pit latrines. Shallow pumping wells can often supply drinking water at a very low cost. However, impurities from the surface easily reach shallow sources, which leads to a greater ...

  6. Water well pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_well_pump

    These pumps, often submersible and powered by electricity, can access water reserves located much deeper than shallow wells, ensuring a consistent supply even during periods of drought. They include different kinds of pumps, most of them submersible pumps: Hand pump, manually operated; Injector, a jet-driven pump; Mechanical or rotary lobe pump ...

  7. Pumping station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

    Often these are the same structure separated by an internal divide. In this configuration pumps are installed below ground level on the base of the dry well so that their inlets are below water level on pump start, priming the pump and also maximising the available NPSH. Although nominally isolated from the sewage in the wet well, dry wells are ...

  8. Water pumping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

    Due to the rotation, water is then picked up by the tube and pumped upwards in the hose. The coil pump, as many low lift pumps, is commonly used for irrigation purposes and for drainage of lands. It is currently still used by farmers in Asia. [1] The coil pump was built as an alternative to the Archimedean screw. Unlike the Archimedean screw ...

  9. Oil well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_control

    As technology has advanced, more modern drillers have better control of the overall well. Oil well control is the management of the dangerous effects caused by the unexpected release of formation fluid, such as natural gas and/or crude oil, upon surface equipment of oil or gas drilling rigs and escaping into the atmosphere.
