Pressure relief well design
Pressure relief well design
(OP)
Hello,
I was wondering if any one know a reference which could provide information about "Pressure relief Well design".
In my case, I got the pumping rate which is 500 gallons per day.
I am not sure how to compare this flow value against Well diameter, I am not sure if there is any correlation. I planned to use 6 in diameter well, but I picked that value just from previous experience.
Please let me know.

Available on line, no cost.
Also "Groundwater and Wells" published and sold by Johnson Screens
500 gpd isn't much, about a third of a gallon per minute. Depends on the soil, of course, but a 6" well should be more than adequate. 2" would probably suffice, but the choice of pumps would be limited. 4" should be fine.
