Radius of influence R (m)

Pumping a well lowers the water table into a cone of depression. Under the Thiem steady-state solution the drawdown is s(r) = Q/(2πT)·ln(R/r): more pumping deepens the cone, higher transmissivity flattens it. Fundamental to well design, water supply, and contaminant capture.

Drawdown at well4.7 m

Drawdown at 50 m1.47 m

Radius of influence500 m

Governing equation

s (r) = \frac{Q}{2 π T} ln \frac{R}{r} = \frac{2000}{2 π \cdot 500} ln \frac{500}{r}

Reading this result: Drawdown is Q/(2πT)·ln(R/r): here it is about 4.7 m at the well and falls off logarithmically, so most of the depression sits in the first tens of metres.

Occupants head for the nearest exit while pushing apart in crowds, so bottlenecks and congestion form at doorways — the effect that drives real egress times. Add or remove exits to see how total clearance time responds. Planning aid only.

v = 1.3 \overset{e}{^}_{exit} + 2.2 j \sum f_{ij}, \frac{N}{exits} = \frac{150}{2} = 75

Reading this result: Around 75 per exit — congestion starts to build at the doors, and adding an exit usually helps more than speeding people up.
