Abstract
AbstractThe capture of groundwater by horizontal wells (HWs) is an old but often overlooked technique. Practically all modeling techniques available in groundwater hydrology have been applied to HWs. This work compares analytical models with field data and investigates the influence of nonuniform screen inflow. The usefulness of a vertical well approximation is studied. A new MATLAB application, HORI, is presented for common analytical models. Analytical methods are found to reproduce drawdown around two radial collector wells (RCWs). Beyond the direct vicinity of the caisson, in particular, drawdown around an RCW can be approximated with a vertical well model.
