Water is pumped from a well tapping an uncomfined aquifer at a certain discharge rate and the steady state drawdown (x) in an observation well is monitored subsequently, the pumping discharge is doubled and the steady state drawdown in the same observation well is found to be more than double (i e., more than 2x). This is proportionate drawdown is caused by :

  • A. well losses
  • B. decrease in the saturated thickness of the aquifer
  • C. nonlinear flow
  • D. delayed gravity yield

Right Answer is :
✓ C. nonlinear flow
