Well hydraulics analyzes the drawdown of groundwater levels due to pumping from wells over time and distance. It is important to understand well hydraulics to design effective pumping strategies that can meet water demand by withdrawing adequate amounts of groundwater from aquifers. Basic assumptions are made about steady versus unsteady flow, and models examine steady radial flow of groundwater to wells pumping from both confined and unconfined aquifers.

1. What is well hydraulics?
To understand he process in effect when one or more well are
pumping from an aquifer. This is for instance considers the analysis of
drawdown due to pumping with time and distance.

2. Importance of well hydraulics
Groundwater withdrawal from aquifer are important to meet water
demand. Therefore, we need to understand well hydraulics to design
a pumping strategy that is sufficient to furnish the adequate amount
of water.
