Appendix A
Example of a Water-Well System Design
Publication: Hydraulics of Wells: Design, Construction, Testing, and Maintenance of Water Well Systems
Abstract
This appendix provides an example of a complete evaluation of construction of a high-capacity municipal water-supply well in an alluvial groundwater basin in southern California. Specifically, the example is from the Chino groundwater within the City of Ontario's service area. It includes material on the well siting analysis, well design, well construction and testing, well equipping, and well operation and maintenance. The objective of this evaluation was to select two of six sites with the greatest geohydrological potential to yield 3,000 gal./min to a well installed at that location. The well siting analysis includes analysis of geohydrogeology and groundwater and well site characteristics. The well testing includes aquifer zone testing, pumping tests, and a video survey.
