ground water hydrology of Ethiopia.
Hydrology means the science of water. The science deals with occurrence, circulation, and distribution of water of the earth and earth’s atmosphere. Practical applications of hydrology are found in such tasks as the design and operation of hydraulic structures, water supply, wastewater treatment and disposal, irrigation, drainage, hydropower generation, flood control, navigation, erosion and sediment control, salinity control, pollution abatement, recreational use of water, and fish and wildlife protection. Hydrology may be considered to encompass all the hydro-sciences, or defined more strictly as the study of the hydrologic cycle, that is, the endless circulation of water between the earth and its atmosphere. Hydrologic knowledge is applied to the use and control of water resources on the land areas of the earth.
As the branch of science, hydrology is concerned with the water in streams and lakes, rainfall and snowfall, snow and ice on the land and water accruing below the earth’s surface in the pores of the soil & rocks. In general sense, hydrology is very broad subject of on inter-disciplinary nature drawing support from allied sciences, such as meteorology, geology, statistics, chemistry, physics and fluid mechanics hydrology is basically an applied science. It can be used in irrigation, drainage, flood control, water supply, etc. To further emphasize the degree (extent) of applicability, this subject is sometimes classified as: The three important phases of the hydrologic cycle are:
Evaporation and evapotranspiration
Precipitation and
Runoff and
The globe has one-third land and two-thirds Ocean. Evaporation from the surfaces of ponds, lakes, reservoirs, Ocean surfaces, etc. and transpiration from surface vegetation i.e., from plant leaves of cropped land and forests, etc. take place. These vapors rise to the sky, are condensed at higher altitudes by condensation nuclei, and form clouds, resulting in droplet growth. The clouds melt and sometimes burst to result in precipitation of different forms like rain, snow, hail, sleet, mist, dew, and frost. A part of this precipitation flows over the land called runoff and part infilters into the soil, which builds up the groundwater table. The surface runoff joins the streams and the water is stored in reservoirs. A portion of surface runoff and groundwater flow back to the ocean. Again, evaporation starts from the surfaces of lakes, reservoirs, and ocean, and the cycle repeats.
• Of these three phases of the hydrologic cycle, namely, evaporation, precipitation, and runoff, it is the ‘runoff phase’, which is important to a civil engineer since he is concerned with the storage of surface runoff in tanks and reservoirs for the purposes of irrigation, municipal water supply hydroelectric power, etc.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

2. Tube wells consists essentially of a hole bored in
to the ground for tapping ground water from deep
pervious zones.
Compared to open wells, tube wells have small
diameter(usually 8cm – 60cm) and deep/larger
depth ( more than 30m).
Yield from standard tube well 40-45 l/s.
Shallow tube wells : 30-60m depth, 20 L/s yield
Deep tube wells : 60-300 m depth, yield 200 L/s

ADVANTAGESAND DISADVANTAGES OF TUBEWELLS
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
5. Tube wells are classified on the basis of:
the entry of water into the well,
the method of construction,
the depth and
the type of aquifer tapped.
Based on Entry of water
Tube wells are classified as
• screen wells and
• cavity wells
6. Screen wells
It permit the entry of
water from the
surrounding aquifer
Screens are lowered
into the bore hole.
Usually limited to
shallow depths
Fig-1.6Tubewells using screens to permit the entry ofwater
7. Cavity well
A cavity well is a shallow tube
well drilled in an alluvial
formation.
Draws water through the
bottom of the well pipe.
Cavity wells are very
economical and can be adopted
where the ground strata
permits its construction.
Requires strong and
dependable roof
Fig-1.7 Schematic sketch of acavitywell
8. Based on method of construction
Grouped as: drilled wells, driven wells and jetted wells
1. Drilled tube wells
Drilled wells are constructed by making bore holes, using
different drilling methods.
Tube well construction involves drilling the bore hole,
installing the casing and well screen, and developing the
well to ensure sand-free operation at maximum yield.
Techniques of drilling are:
- Hand-augur drilling
- Water injection (jetting)drilling
- Rotary-percussion drilling
- Percussion drilling
- Sludge drilling.
- Rotary drilling
9. Hand-auger drilling :
Thecutting tool (known asthe auger head) is rotated tocut into the
ground, and then withdrawn to remove excavated material. The
procedure is repeated until the required depth is reached. Note:
Thismethod is only suitable for unconsolidateddeposits.
Advantages of hand-augerdrilling:
Inexpensive.
Simple to operate andmaintain.
Disadvantages of hand-auger drilling:
Slow,compared with other methods.
Equipment canbe heavy.
Problems canoccur with unstable rockformations.
Water is needed for dry holes.
10. Jetting:
Water is pumped down the center of the drill-rods, emerging as a jet. It then
returns up the borehole or drill-pipe bringing with it cuttings and debris. The
washing and cutting of the formation is helped by rotation, and by the up-and-
down motion of the drill-string. A foot-powered treadle pump or a smallinternal-
combustion pump are equally suitable.
Advantages of jetting:
The equipment is simple to use.
Possible above and below the water-table.
Disadvantages of jetting:
Water is required for pumping.
Suitable for unconsolidated rocks only (e.g. sand, silt, clay)
Boulders can prevent further drilling
11. Sludging (reversejetting)
Water flows down the borehole annulus (ring) and back up the
drill pipe, bringing debris with it. Asmall reservoir is needed at
the top of the borehole for recirculation. Simple teeth at the
bottom of the drill-pipe, preferably made of metal, help cutting
efficiency.
Advantagesof sludging:
Theequipment can be made from local,
low-cost materials, and is simple to use.
Disadvantagesof sludging:
Water is required for pumping.
Suitable for unconsolidated rocksonly.
Boulders can prevent further drilling
12. Rotary-percussion drilling: In very hard rocks, such as granite, the only way
to drill a hole is to pulverize the rock, using 'down-the-hole hammer'(DTH).
Compressed air is needed to drive this tool. The air also flushes the cuttingsand
dust from the borehole.
Advantages of rotary percussiondrilling:
Drills hard rocks.
Possible to penetrate gravel.
Fast.
Operation is possible above and below the water-table.
Disadvantages of rotary-percussion drilling:
Higher tool cost than other tools illustratedhere.
Air compressor required.
Requires experience to operate and maintain
13.
14. 2.Driven tube wells
It consists of a pipe and well point which are forced into the
water-bearing formation by driving with a wooden maul, drop
hammer or other suitable means.
They develop small yields and their construction is limited to
shallow depths in soft unconsolidated formations free from
boulders and other obstructions.
They are commonly used for domestic water supply.
Constructed by driving asmall-diameter, perforated tube witha
pointed end into friable ground like sand or gravel using a
vertical to-and-fro movement
Driven wells may be very simply created inunconsolidated
material with awell orhole structure,
15. Techniquesof driving:
Percussion driving :percussion involvesdriving
a tube with apointed
Water injection (or water jetting) driving:
by injecting water under pressure inside atube
to facilitate digging the soil and removing the
spoil.
16. 3. Jetted tube wells
It is constructed with hand-operated equipment or power-
driven machines, depending upon the type of formation
and the size and depth of the well. A hole in the ground is
made by the cutting action of a stream of water.
The water is pumped into the well through a pipe of small
diameter. It is forced against the bottom of the hole
through the nozzles of a jetting bit.
The hole is cased to prevent a cave-in.
Jetted tube wells have small yields and their construction
is possible only in unconsolidated formations.
17. Based on Depth
1. Shallow tube wells
are wells of low yield capacity(20 l/s).
The average depth of the well is usually less than 60 m.
Cavity tube wells and strainer tube wells with coir
strainers generally fall in this category. The latter usually
tap only the unconfined aquifer.
2. Deep tube wells
Deep tube wells are wells of high capacity, tapping more
than one aquifer.
Their depth usually ranges from 60-300 m.
May be strainer wells or gravel-pack wells
18. Based on type of aquifer
Tube wells under this category are classified as:
1. water table wells,
2. semi-artesian wells,
3. artesian wells and
4. hard rock bore wells.
The classification is based on the location of the well and the characteristics
of the aquifer.
Wells may be defined as water table or artesian wells, depending upon
whether they tap a water table aquifer or an artesian aquifer.
Artesian wells are further classified as semi-artesian wells and flowing
artesian wells.
Tube wells bored in hard rock formations are classified as hard rock bore
wells.
19. Water tablewells
Theseare installed in unconfined aquifers
which are under water table conditions, i.e.the
water level is not under pressure. Generally,
shallow tube wells fall under thiscategory.
Semi-artesianwells
Semi-artesian wells are installed undersemi-
artesian conditions of aquifer.
Thewater is under pressure, but not sohighas
to flow out of the well.
20. Artesian wells
Aflowing well gets its supply from an aquifer where the
water is under such high pressure that Water overflows
at the top.
The static water level in this case is above the ground
surface and can be measured within the well casing, if
the pipe is extended high enough so that the overflow
does not occur.
Alternatively, flow canbe contained by capping thewell
casing, after which the shut-in head canbe measured
with apressuregauge.
21. Amultiple-well system is agroup of closely installed shallow
tube wells, usually connected to acommon header pipe or
manifold and pumped by suction liftof acentrifugal pump.
Adapted under the followingconditions:
1. Where the water table is at shallowdepth
2. Where the installation ofmedium and deep tube wells is not
economical
3. Where the hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer are poor
4. Where salts are present in the deeper layers of the water-bearing
formation
5. Wherever there is aproblem of waterlogging
6. Where the conditions are such that aconstant level of water is required
to be maintained at some depth from ground surface.
22.
23. Infiltration galleries may be described as
trenches dug in river beds
Parallel to the axis of the river or transverse to it
In which are laid perforated pipes or masonry-
lined galleries with openings to permit the entry
of water.
Usedin surface water pumping in ruralwater
supply schemes
26. Thedesign of atube well involves the followingsteps:
1. Mechanical analysis of samples of the undergroundformation
obtained from various depths and the preparation of awell
log.
2. Designof housing pipe and wellcasing
3. Designof well screen
4. Designof gravelpack
5. Designfor sanitaryprotection
27. Diameter of housingpipe
• Should be at least 5 cm more in diameterthan
the nominal diameter of thepump.
28. Depth of housingpipe
• Pump should be alwayssubmerged in water.
• Pump must be set afew meters belowthe
lowest drawdown level.
29. Thickness of Well casingpipe
• Steel pipes are produced in severalthickness.
• Heavier pipes – severecorrosive soil andwater
• Lighter pipes – mildly corrosive soil andwater
• Thickness of well casingis afunction ofthe
diameter and depth of thewell.
30.
31. Boresize
At least 5 cm bigger in diameter than the casing pipe
If Gravel pack used
Bore size=outside dia of casingpipe +(2 xgravel packthickness)
Well depth
Depends upon the locations of water-bearingformations
Desired yield of thewell
Economic considerations
Hydraulic conductivity of the aquifermaterial
32. Thebasic requirements of awell screenare
i. It should be resistant tocorrosion and deterioration
ii. It should be strong enough toprevent collapse
iii. It should offer minimum resistance to the flow of water
iv. Itshould prevent excessivemovement of sand into the well
33. Slot Opening
Well screen slot openings is determined by matching the
size of the opening with the grain-size distribution of the
material surrounding the screen.
Slot sizevaries from aslow as0.2 mm to aslarge as5mm
a) Non-Gravel-Pack wells
• For Homogeneousand non corrosive aquifer- slot opening –d60
• For Homogeneousand corrosive aquifer- slot opening –d50
• Optimum size--- 40%line intersects the sample-analysis curve—
screen opening from the horizontalscale---d60
b) Gravel-Pack Wells
• Slot opening – d10 ±8%
34. Percent Open Area
It is desirable to providean open area of about 20 percent
for well screens.
Diameter of theScreen
Should produce ascreen entrance velocity of not
more than 3cm/s
Maximum entrance velocity – 5 cm/s ( sufficent
sand thickness)
35.
36. The following are the common paths of entry of contaminated
surface water into the tubewell:
1. Between the pump and the wellcasing
2. Around the wellcasing
3. Improperly placed gravelpack
4. Reverseflow through the pump
5. Subsidence of the soil or aquifer around the well casing due to
sand pumping.
40. The development of tube well is essential process to obtain an
efficient and long –lastingwell.
Development of atube well involves removal of finer material from
around the well screen, thereby enlarging the passagesin the
water-bearing formation to facilitate entry of water.
Development increases the effective radius ofthe well and,
consequently, its yield.
41. 1. Repair to damage done to the formation by drilling operation
and restore the original hydraulic conductivity of theaquifer.
2. To increase the porosity and permeability of the water bearing
formation in the vicinity of the well by removing finer material
of aquifer.
3. To stabilize the formation around well screen to yield sand free
discharge.
42. 1. Over pumping
2. Surging with surge block or boiler
3. Surging and pumping with air-compressor
4. Back washing
5. High velocity jetting
6. Aquifer development techniques:
7. Use of explosive
8. Use of acid
