Abstract
A study of radially symmetrical, unconfined flow to a well is presented herein. The discharge of such a system is related, using dimensional considerations, to the permeability of the aquifer and the geometric characteristics of the influence region. In order to study the problem, the electrical analogy for hydraulic flow is combined with the membrane analogy for a free surface. The experimental results obtained are combined with observations of other investigators to develop empirical relationships between the flow and the geometric variables.
