Well Volume Calculator





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:

Well Volume (m³)=π4×(Well Diameter (m))2×(Total Well Depth (m)Static Water Depth (m))
Total Well Volume (m³)=π4×(Well Diameter (m))2×Total Well Depth (m)
Three Well Volumes (m³)=3×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.
