Question

The yield for a particular well is 280 gallons per minute (gpm). Of the drawdown for this well is 23 feet, what is the specific yield in gpm/ft?

Answer 1

`Y=12.2 (gpm)/(ft)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we can find that the well produces 280 gpm, and the given drawdown is 23 ft, we need to divide 280 by 23 to obtain the yield in gmp/ft as shown below:

`Y=(280gpm)/(23ft) \\\\Y=12.2 (gpm)/(ft)`

Best regards!
