Location of water bearing soil layer is 250 to 560 ft

Determination of Strainer Length & Position

Let , The Static Water Level at height (ft) : 250.00
Average Rate of Water Level Declination (per year) (ft) : 2.00
Design Period (years) : 20.00
Drawdown while Pumping each time (ft) : 15.00
Safety Distance (ft) : 15.00
Hence, the length of Casing Pipe (ft) : 320.00
Aquifer Depth ( from 250ft - 560ft) (ft) : 310.00
So 80% of the aquifer screening can be made

Hence , the Strainer Length (ft) : 248.00

so we can choose a strainer of 100

 Selection of Strainer Size :
To retain 90% of the gravel pack materials, Slot = (D10/25.4)*1000 = 32.28
So 4-6 inch diameter 30 slot strainer is selected having each opening area of 30/1000 inch
3 to 8 inch diameter envelop of gravel pack material will surround the entire screen
Let, Diameter of the Strainer (inch) = 6

Yield of Well
For 40 slot strainer,
Strainer area =15% of strainer surface area = 0.15 (Steel Screening assumed)
Diameter = 6"
Length = 100'
Assume, flow velocity = 0.10 fps
Factor of Safety = 2.5
So, Yield of well = (area of strainer x flow velocity) / factor of safety
= 0.15 100x0.1)/2.5
= 0.94248 fps
= 96077 lph
Assuming continuous pumping for 16 hours per day, Yield = 96077 x 16 = 1537232 lpd
