c. Qanat, Karez, Foggara


Qanat (arb), Karez (prs), Foggara (bbr-arb) is a system of water exploitation which
providing of irrigation water in Central East. Qanat is a method to get clean water by
digging horizontal gallery across the slope surface of ground till reach groundwater
table of the aquifer. From this aquifer water flow with smaller slope than original
slope of groundwater table of impervious canal go in the direction of irrigation area
(Fig. 1.9.). According to Todd (1980), the total gallery length of qanats in this area,
reach thousands of miles. Iran has the greatest concentration of qanats, here some
22,000 qanats are supplying 75% of all water used in the country. Lengths of qanats
extend up to 30 km but most are less than 5 km. The depth of qanats mother well is
normally less than 50 m but instances of depth exceeding 250 m. Discharges of
qanants vary seasonally with water table fluctuation and seldom exceed 100 m 3/h.
The longest qanat near Zarand, Iran is 29 km with a mother well depth of 96 m with
966 shafts along its length and the total volume of material excavated is estimated
at 75,400 m3.

d. Roman domestic water system.


(http://staff.civil.uq.edu.au/h.chanson/rom_aq.html)
Roman aqueducts supplied waters to cities for public baths (thermes) and toilets
(latrines) (Hodge, 1992, Fabre et al. 2000), in addition of public fountains. They were
long subterranean conduits, following contours lines, with flat longitudinal slopes : i.e.,
1 to 3 m per km, even less at Nmes (0.24 m/km). Numerous aqueducts were used for
centuries and some are still in use (e.g. Carthage, Mons). Their construction was a
huge task, often performed by the army under the guidance of military hydraulic
engineers. Their cost was extra-ordinary considering the real flow rate (i.e. less than
400 L/s) : about 1 to 3 millions sesterces per kilometre in average (Fevrier, 1979,
Leveau, 1991)
Several aqueducts (Fig.1.12.) were equipped with regulation basins installed along the
canal. For example, at Ars-sur-Moselle (Metz); at the Valle de l'Eure, upstream of
Pont-du-Gard, at Lafoux along the Nmes aqueduct; at Segovia upstream of the
aqueduct bridge. Most regulation basins were equipped with a series of gates and an
overflow system. Basic hydraulic considerastions imply that undershoot gates were
used to regulate the aqueduct flow while overshoot gates were used for the overflow
discharge (Chanson, 2000b). The aqueducts provided a constant flow of fresh water
into the bath houses. The best water supplied to the city was used for drinking
water. The baths were given the next best supply. Likewise, an equally impressive
system known as the Cloaca Maxima (literally, Latin for giant sewer) carried away
the used water filled with Romes trash, human and animal waste, and even bodies of
dead slaves. The sewer system flowed through and under much of Rome and still
drains rain water and debris from modern Rome. Hydraulic calculations were
conducted for two large regulation basins on the Gorze and Nmes aqueducts. This
type of operation implied fine gate opening adjustment systems to enable precise
flow regulation.

e. Springs
Spring is an outflow of ground water to the ground surface due to hydraulic head or
gravitational force (Fig. 1.13). This technique had been implanted since before
century like in Greek or Roman Kingdom. Spring water as a drinking water is usually be
conveyed by network of pipes or canals to the town.

f. Kaptering
Kaptering (ducth) is a building of spring catcher. The ancient kaptering in Indonesia
in Trowulan as capital of Majapahit Kingdom it was implemented since 12nd century

that on the site of spring was built a temple is now called Tikus Temple. Nowadays
from this temple still flowing water even though with small discharge and this
building installed by inflow-outflow and overflow system and conveyance pipes to
Segaran Pond with the area are more than 6 ha (Fig. 1.13).
This construction must keep that the spring have not the excess water pressure, it is
mean that the hydrostatic pressure must be equal or lower than before the
development. Much mistake de spring catcher development when designer aim to
increase the elevation of the natural elevation of the spring to get higher hydraulic
head. The problem will occur to the hydrostatic pressure of the soil or rock
surrounding the spring and when the pressure bigger than the carrying capacity of
soil it will create the leakage and finally the spring will be move to the other
direction.

g. Crush Bore Well (Cable tool)


(http://www.welldrillingschool.com/courses/pdf/DrillingMethods.pdf)
Cable tool had its beginnings 4000 years ago in China. It was the earliest drilling
method and has been in continuous use for about 4000 years. The Chinese used tools
Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Hydrology of Groundwater-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM

16

constructed of bamboo and well depths of 3000 ft. are recorded. However, wells of
this depth often took generations to complete. Cable tool rigs are sometimes called
pounders, percussion, spudder or walking beam rigs. They operate by repeatedly
lifting and dropping a heavy string of drilling tools into the borehole. The drill bits
breaks or crushes consolidate rock into small fragments. When drilling in
unconsolidated formations, the bit primarily loosens material.
Crush Bore Well is a well which is build to provide drinking water by crush or impact
of a sharp cylindrical metal using cable tool to rise on the certain height and then be
released and fall down to the ground and create a hole which reach ground water
table. In Egypt this system was implemented since 3000 BC, in Rome near the first
century and in a small town in south French Artois, which well had a hydraulic
pressure and it created an artesian well due to the water squirt out from the well .
For a cable tool drill to operate the drill string must have these four components:

Drilling cable - lifts tools, turns tools, controls tool motion.

Swivel socket - connects cable to tools, allows cable to unwind.

Drill stem - provides weight, steadies and guides bit.

Drill bit - penetrates formation, crushes and reams, mixes cuttings. Many cable
tool drillers now employ Tungsten Carbide studded bits to aid in hard rock
penetration.

h. Auger Drilling
Often used for site investigation, environmental and geotechnical drilling and
sampling, and boreholes for construction purposes, auger drilling can be an efficient
drilling method. The advantages of auger drilling include low operating costs, fast
penetration rates in suitable formations and no contamination of samples by fluids.
Augers come in continuous flight, short flight/plate augers and bucket augers.
Continuous flight augers driven by top head rotary machines (shown above) carry
Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Hydrology of Groundwater-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM

17

their cuttings to the surface on helical flights. Continuous flight augers with hollow
stems are often used for sample recovery in environmental, geotechnical operations.
i. Rotary Drilling
Rotary bore well was implemented since 1890 in USA to draw gas and oil and the hole
reach 2,000 meter depth. Nowadays, the rotary bore well reach 7,000 meter depth.
Rotary drilling uses a sharp, rotating drill bit to dig down through the Earth's crust.
Much like a common hand held drill, the spinning of the drill bit allows for penetration
of even the hardest rock. The idea of using a rotary drill bit is not new.
Archeological records show that as early as 3000 B.C., the Egyptians may have been
using a similar technique. Leonardo Di Vinci, as early as 1500, developed a design for a
rotary drilling mechanism that bears much resemblance to technology used today.
Despite these precursors, rotary drilling did not rise in use or popularity until the
early 1900's. Although rotary drilling techniques had been patented as early as 1833,
most of these early attempts at rotary drilling consisted of little more than a mule,
attached to a drilling device, walking in a circle! It was the success of the efforts of
Captain Anthony Lucas and Patillo Higgins in drilling their 1901 'Spindletop' well in
Texas that catapulted rotary drilling to the forefront of petroleum drilling
technology.
While the concept for rotary drilling - using a sharp, spinning drill bit to delve into
rock - is quite simple, the actual mechanics of modern rigs are quite complicated. In
addition, technology advances so rapidly that new innovations are being introduced
constantly. The basic rotary drilling system consists of four groups of components.
The prime movers, hoisting equipment, rotating equipment, and circulating equipment
all combine to make rotary drilling possible.
j. Down the hole air hammer
To drill effectively in hard formations, rotary bits require very high pull down
pressures. These pressures may be beyond the design capabilities of small to medium
Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Hydrology of Groundwater-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM

18

drill rigs. And, as was stated earlier, excessive pull down pressures may damage the
drill string and deflect the trueness of the hole. If the hard rock formation is near
the surface, even larger rigs have trouble with penetration as the weight of the drill
string is not relatively great when drilling is beginning. The down hole hammer is an
air activated percussive drilling bit which operates in the manner of the jack
hammer commonly seen in surface construction. Constructed from alloy steel with
heavy tungsten-carbide inserts that provide the cutting or chipping surfaces. These
inserts are subject to wear and may be replaced or reground improve penetration
rates. Corrosion (rust) is the DHHs greatest enemy. It must be kept well lubricated
at all times. And it should be opened and inspected after every 100 hours of
continuous operation.
k. Jet Drilling
Drilling in unconsolidated formation with high water availability allows jet drilling to
be a viable drilling method. Often employed in drilling shallow irrigation wells, jet
drilling is achieved by water circulation down through the rods washing cuttings from
in front of the bit. The cutting flow up the annular space and in a settling pit so that
the water can be re-circulated. Jetting in semi consolidated formations may be
assisted by using a hammering technique to chop through hard bands. This
technique is a combination of jetting and percussion. A fish-tail type rotary bit may
be used and the pipe rotated to cut the hole. All hydraulic (water based) drilling
requires that the hole be kept full off water until it is cased.

4. Qualitative Theory
a. Early Greek Philosophers
Homer, Thales (624-546 BC) and Plato (428-347 BC) hypothesized that springs were
formed by sea water conducted through subterranean channels below the mountains,
then purified and raised to the surface.
b. Aristoteles (384-322 BC
Water is every day carried up and is dissolved into vapor and rises to the upper
region, where it is condensed again by the cold and so returns to the earth.
c. Marcus Vitruvius (15 BC)
Theory of the hydrologic cycle, in which precipitation falling in the mountains
infiltrated the Earth's surface and led to streams and springs in the lowlands.
d. Early Roman Philosophers
Lucius Annaeus Seneca (1 BC AD 65) and Pliny clarify theory of Aristoteles is
precipitation fall down in the mountain, a part of water infiltrate to the ground as a
storage water and then flow out as springs.
e. Bernard Palissy (1509-1589)
He described more clearly about hydrological cycle from evaporation in the sea till
water come back again to the sea in his book: Des eaux et fontaines.
f. Johannes Kepler (1571-1630)
The earth as a big monster whose suck water from the sea, be digested and flow out
as fresh water in springs.
g. Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680)
Interaction with magma heat which causes heated water to rise through fissures and
tidal and surface wind pressure on the ocean surface which forces ocean water into
undersea.

5. Quantitative Theory
a. Pierre Perrault (1608-1690)
He observed rainfall and stream flow in the Seine River basin, confirming Palissy's
hunch and thus began the study of modern scientific hydrology. He said that the
depth of precipitation in the Seine river, France was 520 mm/y
b. Edme Mariotte (1620-1684)
In his book Des mouvements des eaux Seine River: Discharge Q = 200.000 ft3/min,
local flow is 1/6 part, evaporation is 1/3 part and infiltration is 1/3 part.
c. Edmund Halley (16561742)
He developed the equation of balance : I O = S
d. Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782)
He stated that, in a steady flow, the sum of all forms of mechanical energy in a fluid
along a streamline is the same at all points on that streamline.
e. Jean Leonard Marie Poiseuille (1797-1869).
The original derivation of the relations governing the laminar flow of water through a
capillary tube was made by him in the early of 19th century.
f. Reynold (1883)
The Reynolds

number NR is

a dimensionless

number that

gives

measure

of

the ratio of inertial forces V2/L to viscous forces V/L2 and consequently quantifies
the relative importance of these two types of forces for given flow conditions.
g. Henry Philibert Gaspard Darcy (June 10, 1803 January 3, 1858)
On his books Les fontaines publiques de Dijon (1856), he developed mathematical
equation for flow in porous media.

Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Hydrology of Groundwater-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM

21

h. Badon Gabon (1888) and Herzberg (1901)


They developed equilibrium theory of fresh water and saline water in the circular
island with porous soil.
i. Jules Dupuit (1863)
In his book: Estudes Thoriques et Pratiques sur le mouvement des Eaux dans les

canaux dcouverts et travers les terrains permables, Dupuit developed the


formulas for groundwater flow from trench to trench with definite distance, radial
flow in unconfined and confined aquifer with definite distance.
j. Adolph Thiem (1870)
a German engineer who developed equation for the flow toward well and infiltration
galleries.
k. Gunther Thiem (1907)
In 1906, he continued Dupuit principle and his father research he developed steady
stage equation for the circular flow, using two test wells and drawdown data, and the
formula is nowaday called Dupuit-Thiem.
l. Lugeon (1930)
Lugeon developed the double packer bore hole inflow test made at constant head.
Lugeon is a measure of transmissivity in rocks, determined by pressurized injection
of water through a bore hole driven through the rock.
m. Theis (1936)
The Theis equation was developed to determine transmissivity of storage coefficient
by drawdown measuring at any given radius from the well in form exponential integral.
Due to the equations are difficult to compute so the graphic solutions are needed.

Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Hydrology of Groundwater-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM

22

n. Expansion of Theis
Cooper-Jacob simplified the Theis formula by negligible after the first two terms.
The same manner it was expanded to by Chow (1952) and Todd (1980) but all
together still need graphic solution.
o. Forchheimer (1930)
He developed the flow equation of steady state radial flow in borehole using new
parameter is shape factor and neglected data of observation well.
p. Expansion of Forchheimer
Development of formulas of shape factors by Samsioe (1931), Dachler (1936), Taylor
(1948), Hvorslev (1951), Aravin (1965), Wilkinson (1968), Al-Dahir & Morgenstern
(1969), Luthian & Kirkham (1949), Kirkham & van Bavel (1948), Raymond & Azzouz
(1969), Smiles & Young (1965) and Sunjoto (1988-2008).
q. Taylor (1940)
Certain guiding principles are necessary such as the requirement that the formation
of the flownet is only proper when it is composed of curvilinear squares.
r. Sunjoto (1988)
Base on Forchheimer (1930) principle, Sunjoto (1988) developed an unsteady state
radial flow equation for well which was derived by integration solution and shape
factors of the tip of the well. In 2008 he developed too the formula of unsteady
state condition of recharge trench and its shape factors.

: average velocity
: unit weight of water
: radius of tube
: viscosity of fluid

This equation is the proof of Poiseuilles Law which states that the velocity in laminar
flow is proportional to the first power of the hydraulic gradient i.

b. Darcys Law (1856),

The equation becomes:

(3.4)

The essential point of above equation is that the flow through the soils is also
proportional to the first power of the hydraulic gradient i as propounded by
Posseuilles Law. And the discharge is by Darcys equation is:

Experiments show that Darcys law is valid for NR < 1 and does not depart seriously up
to NR = 10, and this value represents an upper limit to the validity of Darcys law
(Todd, 1980).
4. The development of the post post Darcy
After Darcy developed his fundamental formula on his book Les fountains publiques
de Dijon (1856), many researchers developed other formulas based on his, except
Forhheimer (1930). The Darcys formula in vector form is very advance and easy to
developed basic formula to explain for many condition of flow for instance together
with Laplace equation or for mono-phase or bi-phase flow, but it is impossible to use it
to compute the design of groundwater flow. Forchheimer (1930) simplified Darcys
formula and introduce new parameter is shape factor (F) and this formula easily to
use to compute the design of groundwater flow. Sunjoto (1988), developed new
unsteady flow condition formula based on Forchheimers formula which is a steady
state condition. Beside the unsteady state formula, Sunjoto developed more than 20
formulas of shape factors.

grain size, smaller void ratio which leads to reduce size of flow channels and lower
permeability.
1). Void ratio
The ratio of the volume of voids (Vv) to the volume of solids (Vs), is defined as
void ratio, and:

The coefficient of permeability K can be determined on the basis of drop in head


(ho- h1 ) and the elapse time (t1 - to).

e). Computation from horizontal capillary test


This method base on the Darcys Law and compute the K are sometimes used
where the soil permeability fall within the range of 10-3 to 10-6 cm/s but this
method not very accurate (Murthy, 1974).
2). Field Methods
The field method of permeability test of soils usually carried out by pumping test
or bore hole test. That is why the parameters

of testing are similar to the

parameters of radial flow for instance discharge, coefficient of permeability and


some of them is shape factors, so this matter will be discused in the next section
on paragraph V.

IV. RADIAL FLOW

Assumptions for the equations are (Dupuit-Thiem):

The soils surrounding the well is assumed homogeneous

The flow towards the well is assumed as steady, laminar, radial and horizontal

The horizontal velocity is independent of depth

The ground water table is assumed as horizontal in all direction

The hydraulic gradient at any point on the drawdown is equal to the slope of
the tangent at the point. According to Castany G. (1967) that value is sinus at
the point.

b. Dupuit-Thiem
1). According to UNESCO (1967),
G. Thiem (1906) based on Dupuit and Darcy principle developed a formula
of pumping and the formula is called Dupuit-Thiem.

e). Lugeon Test


Maurice Lugeon (July 10, 1870 - October 23, 1953) was a Swiss geologist, and
the pioneer of nape tectonics. He was a pupil of Eugne Renevier. The Lugeon test,
extensively used in Europe, is a special case of double packer bore hole inflow test
made at constant head.
Lugeon is a measure of transmissivity in rocks, determined by pressurized
injection of water through a bore hole driven through the rock.
o

One Lugeon (LU) is equal to one liter of water per minute injected into 1 meter
length of borehole at an injection pressure of 10 bars.

1 Lugeon Unit = a water take of 1 liter per meter per minute at a pressure of 10
bars.

Lugeon value : water take (liter/m/min) x 10 bars/test pressure (in bars)


The Lugeon unit is not strictly a measure of hydraulic conductivity but it is a good

approximation for grouting purposes and 1 Lugeon is approximately equivalent to


1x10-5 cm/s or 1x10-7 m/s.
The three successive test runs, each of 5 minutes duration enable a rough
assessment of the water behavior.

Uncertainaty of Lugeon Unit Theory:

The test carried out 5 minute only, so you dont know is the flow in stady
state or unsteady state flow condition

The layer of the soil or rock have no to be taken as consideration

The diameter of hol is not be taken as consideration.

3). Special case of confined aquifer
According to Murthy (1977), figure below shows a confined aquifer with the
test well and two observation wells. The elevation of water in the observation wells
rises above the top of the aquifer due to artesian pressure. When pumping at steady
flow condition from artesian well two cases might found they are:
Case 1: The water level in the test well might remain above the roof level (hw > D)
Case 2: The water level in the test well might fall below the roof level (hw < D)

length of screen casing or perforated pipe L = 18 m and diameter of casing is 45 cm,
fresh water: f = 1,000 kg/m 3 or f = 9.81 kN/m3 and saline water: s = 1,025 kg/m 3 or
s = 10.552 kN/m 3. Tip of the well in -28 m and the pumps are installed on the sandy

The pumps are installed on the sandy costal which beneath of them laid down the
boundary of fresh and saline water in 200,00 m.
Upconing:
According to Sunjoto Eq.(6.9) is:
=

3.41
= 136,40

Power needed:

P = 0.1667 m3/s x 9.81 kN/m3 x (6.50+3.41) m/ 0.60 = 27 kN.m/s = 27 kW

Conclusion:
The level of boundary will move upward to 200 + 136.40 = 63.60 m and due to the
tip of the well level is 28 m so the saline water will not flow into tip of pipe so there
is not sea water intrusion.
Recommendation:
To avoid saline water intrusion to the pump so the shape factor Fd should be
increased by enlarging the diameter of well or/and adding the length of porous well.

5. Saline water pumping


Since the last three decades, the cultivation of fish in coastal area speedy increase
due to the demand of fish consumption increases. The fishpond in fresh water and
brackish water had been developed largely in Indonesia and then the fish cultivation
in seawater is now its beginning to be developed. A seawater fishpond in sandy
coastal area which was equipped by geo-membrane had been developed in Yogyakarta
Special Province with 7.20 ha area, 60 cm depth. One third of water should be
replaced by seawater. The needed pumping system for hydraulic head
H = 7.50 m
and coefficient of permeability K = 0.00047 m/s and saline water: s = 1,025 kg/m 3 or
s = 10.552 kN/m3. This fishpond was installed 4 types of pumping system and one
system still under design. The problem is that the discharge of pumping only less than
half of the design discharge even though the power was doubled.
Volume of pond:
Vp = 72,000 m 2 x 0.60 m = 43,200 m 3
Daily seawater volume needed:
Vn = 33 % x 43,200 m3 = 14,400 m 3
Daily seawater discharge needed:
Qn = 14,400/24/3,600 = 0.1667 m 3/s 10 m 3/mnt
Power needed (without drawdown occurs):
Pn = Q H / kNm/s
Pn = 0.1667 m3/s x 10.552 kN/m 3x 7,50 m/ 0.60 = 21.99 kN.m/s = 21.99 kW

Analysis:

According to Forchheimer (1930) that radial flow in porous media, discharge (Q) is
equal to shape factor (F) multiplied by coefficient of permeability (K) multiplied by
hydraulic head (h).
=

(5.15)

(5.16)

(5.17)

Pumping power is discharge multiplied by specific weight of water multiplied by


hydraulic head divided by efficiency of pump system.

According to Sunjoto (2008), when drawdown of pumping is equal to hydraulic head


the equation becomes:

Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Subsurface Hydrology-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM=2012

83

where,
Q : discharge (m3/s)
F : shape factor of well (m)
K : coefficient of permeability (m/s)
H : hydraulic head of pumping (m)
P : power (kN.m/s)
: specific weight of water (kN/m3)
: pump efficiency

Due to there is not data of saline water and fresh water boundary so it was
decided that the value of drawdown should be big enough to achieve the high upconing
and it will get get saline water discharge, In this case the drawdown was decided
equal to hydraulic gradient and shape factor needed can be computed by (5.17):
0,16672 1.025
=
= 47,29
0,60 2.135,85 0,00047

a. Lying pipes
This pumping system consists of four pipes of 20 cm diameter non-perforated and
the tip of pipes was covered by screen filter. The pipes were lied down about 1 m
under the ground (sand) surface and always sink under low sea water surface to
achieve the discharge water free from predators. The installed shape factors is
(Sunjoto, 2002):
F=2R

(5.18)

where,
F : shape fator of pipe (m)
R : radius of pipe (m)
Computed by (5), the installed shape factor for the 4 pipes is (5.18):
Fi = 4 x 2 x x 0,10 = 2,51 m

This system was not installed the pump due to the current of the sea is big
enough to destroy the lied pipes.

b. Cubical Water Intake


This system consist of hollow 6 m sides cubical concrete structure and the base of
cube without concrete slab lied down on the costal sand and sink always under
lowest sea level. The aim of this system is keeping of 2 pumps from fast current
and high wave. Inside of the cube was installed two cylinder concrete of 60 cm
diameter where the tip of suction pumps take a water. So the shape factor of this
install system is (5.18):
Fi = 2 x 2 x x 0,30 = 3,77 m
This system was installed 2 pumps of 1x3.00 KW and 1x4.00 KW

c. Impermeable Deep well


This system consists of 2 steel non perforated pipes of 45 cm diameter with length
60 m and the installed shape factor can be computed by (5.18):
F = 2 x 2 x x R = 2 x 2 x x 0,225 = 2,827 m
This system was installed 2 pumps of 16.00 KW

Analysis

a. Installations
Acctually there were 4 types of pumping systems were built in this project but
the Lying Pipes was broken down by the current and the wave of the ocean and the
pump was not installed so its rest 3 pumping systems operate with the conditions:
1). Total installed power
P = 0 + (3,00 + 4,50) + (16.00 + 16.00) + 3,00 = 42,50 KW
Design power was 21,99 KW
2). Total installed shape factor:
F = 0 + 3,770 + 2,827 + 10,326 = 16,923 m
Needed shape factor is 47,29 m.
3). Total real discharge:
Q = Q 1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q 4
Q = 0 + (0,18 + 0,27) + (1,80 + 1,80) + 0,18 = 4,23 m3/mnt
Design discharge was 10 m3/mnt.
b. Shape factor point of view
1). Cubic Water Intake
When this system without 60 cm cylinder concrete, it will get bigger shape
factor as:

= 46 6 = 24 , = 3,77

To get shape factor F = 47,29 m you can build Cubical Water Intake Pumping
System with dimension:

When Cylinder form so the radius is:


R = 47,29 / 2 = 7,50 m.

When Rectangular form the sides are (5.20):


= 4 = 47,29 = 11,83 12

To provide the discharge of the project 10 m3/mnt it can be built only one Cubic
Water Intake Pumping System with dimension radius 7.50 m for the Cylinder form or
Rectangular form with the sides 12 m, equiped by 5 x 4,50 KW pumps.

2). Deep well


To provide the discharge of the project 10 m3/mnt it can be built only 3 Deep
Wells equiped by 16 m perforated pipes and the shape factor (6.22):

c. Horizontal perforated pipes (Imron Rosyadi, 2004)


According to Imron Rosyadi (2004) in his Master Thesis that the best solution
is 3 m diameter concrete cylinder with height of 13 m shoud be sunk 8 m on the sand
and equiped 5 perforated pipes 4 m length and 10 cm diameter (Fig.5.12)

Total shape factor of concrete cylinder and horizontal perforated pipes is:

Conclusion:
The all designs never considerated shape factor of tip of well therefore the power
was doubled but the discharge was only less than half of the designed value.

e. Horizontal Perforated Pipe (HPP)


HPP is perforated pipe which are installed horizontally to get bigger discharge or
recharge of the well. For discharge well the hydraulic head is the drawdown of
pumping and for recharge well the hydraulic head is the difference of groundwater
elevation on the well before and after pumping.

This method describes that when the condition is steady flow so the formula is

Total length of HPP is L = 4 x 8 = 32 m


The assumption that hydraulic head is H = 3 m
Diameter of well is D = 4 m or radius R = 2 m
The porosity and coefficient of permeability of pipe pore is bigger than the
soil and permeability of porous wall of well is bigger to the permeability of soil.

All the methods are computed in steady flow condition using the above data so:

VI. UNSTEADY FLOW


1. Theis (1935)
The assumptions made in applying these equations to solution of aquifer problems are:

The system is infinite


The aquifer is homogenous, isotropic and uniform thickness
Prior to removal or addition of water the piezometric is horizontal
The pumping is at constant rate
The pumped well penetrates the aquifer
Water removed from storage is discharged immediately

Theis (1906) used the exponential integral solution to analyze unsteady flow in the
following term:

( )
=
4

(6.1)

The integral is a function of lower limit u and is known as an exponential integral. It


can be expanded as a convergent series so that Eq. 6.1. becomes:

Solution:
Values of s and r2/t are plotted on logarithmic paper and values of W(u) and u from
Table. 6.1. are plotted on another sheet of logarithmic paper and curve is drawn
through the points. The two sheets are superposed and shifted with coordinate axe
parallel until the observational point coincide with the curve as shown in Fig. 6.1.
convenient match point is selected with W(u) = 1.00 and u = 1 x 10-2, so that s = 0.18 m
and r 2/t = 150 m3/min = 216,000 m3/d. Thus, from equation:

1. Cooper-Jacob (1946)
The expansions of Theis (1935) were carried out by Cooper-Jacob (1946), Chow
(1953), Todd (1980). The third method are developed as similar method to Theis
thats are developing exponential integration formula which are difficult to compute,
using pumping data, then plotting the curve and fitting the curves. Glover (1966)
developed the similar exponential integration formula but his formula supported by
table. Due to Glover uses the parameters of computation of pumping method which it
similar to parameters of formula developed by Sunjoto (1988) so those data its can
be computed by both methods that are Glover and Sunjoto.

Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Subsurface Hydrology-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM=2012

100

Cooper-Jacob noted that for small value of r and large value of t, u is small so that
the series terms of Theis formula become negligible after the first two terms then
the drawdown can be expressed by the asymptote:

=
0.5772

Rewriting and changing to decimal logarithms, this reduce to:

Therefore, a plot of drawdown s versus the logarithms of t shows a straight line.

And value for T can be obtained by noting that if t/to = 10, then log t/to = 1, there

The straight line approximation for this method should be restricted to small values
of u (u < 0.01) to avoid large errors.

From pumping test data Table 6.2, s and t plotted on semilogathmic paper, as shown in
Fig. 6.2. A straight line is fitted through the points, and s = 0.40 m and to = 0.39

and find corresponding values of W(u) and u from Fig. 6.3. and finally compute the
formation constants T , s and r2/t of Theis equation.

EXAMPLE:
In Fig. 6.4. data are plotted from Table 6.2. and point A is selected on the curve
where t = 6 min = 4.20 .10-3 day and s = 0.47 m. A tangent is constructed as shown;
the drawdown difference per log cycle of time is s = 3.80 m. Then F(u) = 0.47/0.38
= 1.24, and from Fig. 6.4. W(u) = 2.75 and u = 0.038.

3. Recovery Test (Todd, 1980)


At the end of a pumping test, when pumping is stopped, the water levels in pumping
observation wells will begin rice. This is referred to as the recovery of groundwater
levels, while measurements of drawdown below the original static water level during
the recovery period are known as residual drawdown. (See Fig. 6.5). It should be
noted that measurement of the recovery within a pumped well provide an estimate of
transmissivity even without an observation well and no comparable value of S can be
determined by this recovery test method.

Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Subsurface Hydrology-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM=2012

104

The rate f recharge Q to the well during recovery is assumed constant and equal to
the mean pumping rate. The drawdown after pumping shut down will be identically the
same as if the discharge had been continued and hypothetical recharge well with the
same flow were superposed on the discharging well at the instant the discharge is
shut down.

measurements were made in an observation well of s and t and computation of values
of t/t tabulated in Table. 6.3, and then plotted versus s on semilogarithmic paper
(Fig. 6.6 ). A straight line is fitted through the points ands = 0.40 m is determined,

2). Unconfined aquifer


A well that is to be pumped from unconfined aquifer occurs commonly. The aquifer
rests on an impermeable bed and the saturated portion of aquifer terminate at the
top in the water table. According to Glover (1966), a moments consideration will show
that equation (13) can be used to provide an approximate treatment for this case if
the drawdown s is everywhere small compare to D, this is the customary treatment
for the water table case.
Example:
Radius of well R = 1 ft (r1 = rw)
Coeffisient of permeability = 0,002 ft/s
Discharge Q = 500 gal/mnt
Thikness of aquifer D = 70 ft
Void ratio V = 0.20
Duration of pumping T = 72 hrs

So the drawdown in distance from the well r is:

50 = 50

100 = 100

100 = 1,2665 (1,8611) = 2,36 100 = 67,74

The verification is carried out based on the dept of water on r1 is h1 = 61,73 ft as

as follows:

5. Sunjoto
Sunjoto developed his unsteady flow condition method based on the steady flow
condition theory of Forchheimer (1930). In this case, Glover (1966) was using
parameters data are ; Radius of well, Coeffisient of permeability, Discharge,
Thikness of aquifer, Void ratio and Duration of pumping that those parameters are
needed by Sunjotos theory except Void ratio, due to the this value influences already
the value of Coefficient of permeability or in other word that the Coeffisient of
permeability is function of Void ratio.
For the computation Sunjoto needs the new parameter is shape factors that it can be
computed by above data as:

Shape factor of the tip of full penetration well of the confined aquifer with
the piezometric above the water table is:
=

2( + 2) 2 2
+ + 1

(6.28)

Shape factor of the tip of well of the unconfined aquifer is:


=

where:
F
R
L
D

:
:
:
:

( + 2) 2
+ + 1

(6.29)

shape factor of well (L)


radius of well (L)
length of porous casing (L)
thickness of the aquifer (L)

This computation needs trial and error or iteration by computer by taking some value
of drawdown (s1), then you get (h1) and compute the value of shape factor (F) 0f well.
Then compute drawdown using Sunjoto (1988) formula based of the recharge well
with H is built up as:
Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Subsurface Hydrology-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM=2012

118

(6.30)

Based on the the above formula can be used the pumping well formula with drawdown
(s1) as drawdown as:

built up (L)
drawdown (L)
recharge or discharge (L3/T)
shape factor of well (L)
coeffisient of permeability (L/T)
duration of flow (T)
radius of well (L)

Then compute the value of drawdown in the distance r 2 as unknown with data of r1
using Dupuit-Thiem theory as follows:
=

(12 22 )

12

(6.32)

Example:
With the data above it can be compute as follows:
1). First step
Take some value of drawdown, for instantce (s1)= 6 ft so L = 70-6 = 64 ft
=

2 64

(64 + 2 1) 64 2
+ + 1

1
1

= 82,6135

Subtitute the above value of F to Equation (7.31):


=

1,1141
82,6135 0,002 259200
1
= 6,74
82,6135 0,002
12

So height of water in r1 is h1 = 70 6,74 = 63, 36 ft

Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Subsurface Hydrology-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM=2012

119

2). Second step


Take value of drawdown (s1) = 6,50 ft so L = 70-6,50 = 63,50 ft and compute shape
factor as follows:
=

2 63,5

(63,5 + 2 1) 63,5 2
+
+ 1

1
1

= 82,0983

Subtitute above shape factor F to Equation (7.31):


=

1,1141
82,0983 0,002 259200
1
= 6,78
82,0983 0,002
12

So height of water in r1 is h1 = 70 6,78 = 63,22 ft


3). Third step

Take value of drawdown (s1) = 6,80 ft so L = 70-6,80 = 63,20 ft and compute shape
factor as follows:
=

2 63,2

(63,2 + 2 1) 63,2 2
+
+ 1

1
1

= 81,7889

Subtitute F to Equation (7.31):


=

1,1141
81,7889 0,002 259200
1
= 6,81
81,7889 0,002
12

So height of water in r1 is h1 = 70 6,81 = 63,19 ft


4). Fourth step

Take value of drawdown (s1) = 6,81 ft so L = 70-6,8 = 63,19 ft and compute shape
factor as follows:
=

2 63,19

(63,19 + 2 1) 63,19 2
+
+ 1

1
1

= 81,7856

Subtitute F to Equation (7.31):

Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Subsurface Hydrology-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM=2012

120

1,1141
81,7856 0,002 259200
1
= 6,81
81,7856 0,002
12

Due to the both value of s are already the equal value is 6,81 or value of your input
data of drawdown is equal to the result of computation so it means that the final
result of drawdown is 6,81 ft.
Then compute the value of drawdown in in the distance r 50 and r100 using Equation
(6.32) as follows:

Drawdown in r = 50 ft:
2
2
0.002 (50
0.002(50
12 )
63,192 )
=
1,1141 =
50 = 68,46

501
501

Drawdown s50 = 70 68,46 = 1,54 ft

Drawdown in r = 100 ft:


=

2
2
0.002 (100

1,1141
=
100 = 69,35

1001
1001

Drawdown s100 = 70 69,35 =0,65 ft

Based on the same data the drawdown using Sunjotos method are:

VII. DISCHARGE AND RECHARGE SYSTEM


1. Well
Using Forchheimer (1930) principle which form is steady state flow condition,
Sunjoto (1988) developed an unsteady state radial flow formula for well which
was derived by integration solution. His formula computes a dimension of
recharge well, which catch rainwater to infiltrate to the ground to increase
groundwater storage.

will be an ellipses form and the stream lines which are perpendicular to them are flow
lines which hyperbolic form, and from his equation can be concluded that no water
flow through the base of the well (Fig. 8.5.).

Assumption II:

Explication of assumption I.
The fact that there is a flow of water though the base of well so it must be
taken consideration.

Area of base of well is equal to the area of the wall which length R but due
to the hydraulic gradient on the base of well is bigger than on the wall so we
take value 2/3 R as an addition of length of permeable well.

Finally on the detail computation it found that addition of length of permeable


wall is not 2/3 R but R. ln2:

Shape factor of trench (f) is developed from well shapoe factor as follows
(Sunjoto, 2008):
(a). Shape factor of trench is well shape factor multiplied by shape
coefficient (SC).
(b). Shape coefficient is perimeter coefficient multiplied by area coefficient
(c). Perimeter coefficient circular form to square form is perimeter of square
(4b) divided by perimeter of circle (2R) or equal to 4b / (2R ) .
(d). Area coefficient from square form to rectangular form is root of the
rectangular area devided by square area or equal to ( (bB ) / b 2 ).

b. Water losses
The following is an example of a building site where the digging dimension is
100 x 100 m2, the lowering of elevation of unconfined aquifer surface is 8 m (from 3.00 m to -11.00 m), the coefficient of soil permeability is 5,10-5 m/s and the duration
of continuous pumping is 7 months, that is the time used to construct the lower parts
of a building. This duration consists of 1-month continuous pumping in unsteady flow
condition and 6-month continuous pumping in steady flow condition. For pumping in the

well when the flow is in a steady flow condition can be calculated using the formula as
follows (Forchheimer, 1930):
Q = FKH

(7.13)

where,
Q
: discharge (m3/s)
F
: shape factor of well (m)
K
: coefficient of permeability (m/s)
H
: depth of water (m)
Hvorslev (1951) had developed the following shape factor of well formula with
R is radius of well, K is coefficient of soil permeability and Kv is vertical coefficient
of soil permeability as well as h length of under part casing and well laid on porous
layer:

F=

(7.14)

According to Hvorslev (1951) the value 5.5 R is average amount from the three
researchers were Harza (1935), Taylor (1948) and Hvorslev (1951). On analytical
study, Sunjoto (2002) found that value is 2 R and Eq. (4) becomes:

By analogy with the Eq. (5), the shape factor of rectangular cross section hole
of dewatering with sheet pile as deep as h below the digging area and assuming that
the soil is homogenous and isotropic (K = Kv), a proposed equation for rectangular

Base on the principle of Forchheimer (1930), Sunjoto (1988) developed a


formula of pumping or recharging on the well in unsteady flow condition with equation
as follows:
H=

(7.17)

by modifying the circle area R2 into a square area bB, the shape factor of circle or

well (F) becomes the shape factor of rectangle (f), therefore, the equation (7.77) can
be changed into:

Q=

(7.18)

where:
Q
: pumping discharge (m3/s)
B

b
: width (m)
f
: shape factor of rectangular (m)
K
: coefficient of permeability (m/s)
T
: duration of pumping (s)
H
: hydraulic head (m)
c. Computation
With K = Kv = 5,10-5 m/s, B = b = 100 m, H = 8 m, h = 8 m and the sketch as of
Fig. 1, the discharge, water losses, power of pump can be calculated using the above
formulas as follows:
1). Influence of drawdown
With the drawdown is 8 m and the coefficient of soil permeability is 5.10-5 m/s,
the radius of influence by substituting to Eq. (1) is as follows:
L = 3000 x 8 x 5,10 5 = 170 m

In this case the water table will lower, starting from the biggest drawdown at
the edge of the digging area or sheet pile as far as 170 m, around the digging area.
2). Shape factor
By using the proposed equation Eq. (6), value of shape factor can be calculated:

f =

4 100 100
= 312.472 m

100 100

3). Unsteady flow pumping


Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Subsurface Hydrology-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM=2012

136

Unsteady flow pumping is a pumping to lower the water table from elevation of
-3.00 to -11.00 or hydraulic head H = 8 m. The discharge in unsteady flow condition
within the planned time of one month can be calculated using Eq. (8):

Q=

312.472 5,105 8
= 0.1272 m3/s
312.472 5,10 5 3,600 24 30

1 exp
100 100

4). Steady flow pumping


Steady flow pumping is a pumping to maintain water surface after the elevation
has reached -11.00 m or the hydraulic head H = 11 m. The pumping duration is 6
months according to the carrying out basement construction duration and using Eq.
(3), the discharge is:
Q

312.472 x 5,10-5 x 11 = 0.1719 m 3/s

5). Volume of water losses


During the underground construction, the volume of water losses (V) is:
a) Volume of water losses in one-month pumping:
Vuf = 30 x 24 x 3,600 x 0.1272 = 458,164 m 3
b) Volume of water losses in six-month pumping:
Vsf = 180 x 24 x 3,600 x 0.1719 = 2,673,389 m 3
Thus, total volume of water losses during construction with dewatering is:
V = Vuf + Vsf = 458,164 + 1,944,000 = 3,131,553 m3
The number is resulted from the pumping volume of the one-month unsteady
flow condition added with the volume of six-month of steady flow condition. The
number, however, does not calculate water addition caused by rain, which might fall,
during the construction period.
6). Equivalence with domestic water consumption
When compared with the domestic water consumption of average of Indonesian
people consuming 100 l/day/cpt, the volume of water losses equals with:
Prof.Dr.Ir. Sunjoto Dip.HE, DEA-Subsurface Hydrology-Post Graduate Program JTSL-FT-UGM=2012

137

Number of people = (3,131,553 /7/30/0,100) = 149,121 cpt


Thus, the water losses caused by dewatering equals to the domestic water
consumption for 149,121 people for 7 months.
7). Pump capacity in unsteady flow condition
The running pump capacity required can be calculated using Eq. (2) where Q =
0.1272 m3/s and H = 11 m that is, from -11.00 to + 0.00 m and pump efficiency = 0.60
:
P=

0.1272 1000 11
= 2,332 kgm/s = 23.11 KW
0.60

8). Pump capacity in steady flow condition


The running pump capacity required can be calculated using Eq. (2) where Q =
0.1768 m3/s and H = 11 m, that is, from -11.00 to + 0.00 m.
P=

0.1719 1000 11
= 3,152 kgm/s = 31.26 KW
0.60

In the implementation, several pumps with the determined total capacity are placed
around the edge of the digging area near the sheet pile.
