In the recuperation test, water level can be depressed to any level and the discharge from the well can be calculated.

Based on the assumption proposed by Dupuit’s theory, the velocity of flow is proportional to the tangent of the hydraulic agent instead of its sine.

By pumping test method, the value of storage coefficient ranges was found to be in between 0.00005 to 0.005.

The parabolic depression formed when water is pumped from the aquifer through well can be called as cone of depression or the drawdown surface.

The analysis of the radial flow of water to a well was originally proposed by Dupuit’s theory.

Volume of water entering the well, when the head recuperates by dh is given by the equation: dV=Adh

If the well is open, radial flow takes place all around the well and there is no flow from the bottom of the well.

As the velocity of water is larger at the base, the width of base widens up and its diameter increases.

Pumping-out test is the frequently used field method, as it involves discharging water from the ground.

A partially penetrating artesian well is the one in which the well screen does not penetrate to the full depth of the confined aquifer. Such wells extend only partly through the water bearing stratum.
