1. What is a Well Volume Calculator?
Definition: This calculator determines the volume of water in a well, the total volume the well can hold, and three times the water volume.
Purpose: Useful for well sampling and groundwater management to ensure accurate water quality assessment.
2. How Does the Calculator Work?
The calculations are based on the following equations:
\[ \text{Well Volume (m³)} = \frac{\pi}{4} \times (\text{Well Diameter (m)})^2 \times (\text{Total Well Depth (m)} - \text{Static Water Depth (m)}) \]
\[ \text{Total Well Volume (m³)} = \frac{\pi}{4} \times (\text{Well Diameter (m)})^2 \times \text{Total Well Depth (m)} \]
\[ \text{Three Well Volumes (m³)} = 3 \times \text{Well Volume (m³)} \]
Unit Conversions:
- Input (Length):
- cm → m: ×0.01
- m → m: ×1
- km → m: ×1000
- in → m: ×0.0254
- ft → m: ×0.3048
- yd → m: ×0.9144
- Output (Volume):
- m³ → l: ×1000
- m³ → cm³: ×1,000,000
- m³ → cu ft: ×35.3147
Explanation: Inputs are converted to meters, calculations are performed in m³, and results are converted to liters, cm³, and cu ft.
3. Importance of Well Volume Calculation
Details: Calculating the water volume helps in sampling procedures (pumping three volumes to avoid stagnant water) and assessing the well's total capacity.
4. Using the Calculator
Tips: Enter the well diameter, total well depth, and static water depth in cm, m, km, in, ft, or yd (all >0, static depth ≤ total depth). Results include well volume, total well volume, and three well volumes in m³, liters, cm³, and cu ft.
