Question

Specific capacity of a well is the

• A. Volume of water that can be extracted by the force of gravity from a unit volume of aquifer
• B. discharge per unit drawdown of the well
• C. drawdown per unit discharge of the well
• D. rate of flow through a unit width and entire thickness of aquifer

Answer 1

The correct option is B discharge per unit drawdown of the well

Volume of water that can be extracted by the force of gravity from a unit volume of aquifer is specific yield.

Rate of flow through unit width and entire saturated thickness of aquifer is called transmissivity.
