Wells & water/ CALCULATOR

Water stored above a well-pump reserve level

Estimate the cylindrical water column and volume above a protected pump-intake level.

Use the actual internal diameter of the water column, not only the nominal casing label.
Measure down from the same documented reference point used for the pump depth.
Depth from the reference point to the pump intake or controlling inlet.
Water column intentionally kept above the intake; establish it from equipment and well design.
Water column above reserve level

20.00 m

Equivalent cylindrical water volume

353 L

A vertical cylindrical water column with one internal diameter. The result excludes screen and formation storage, fractures, casing changes, pump displacement, sediment and dynamic inflow. Stored bore volume is not sustainable well yield and does not set a safe pump depth.
