Design of interacting wells for optimization of investments and operating costs while constructing water-diverting structures

Constructions for water withdrawal are the constitutive building industry component. The cost of these constructions is rather high. That is why while designing it is necessary to choose optimal design model and operating conditions during design life. Operation experience showed that the wells are desirably placed along one line to provide the most optimal conditions for water withdrawal. While designing the wells interaction is considered as a group operation if the distance between them is less than two radiuses of influence. Such wells disposition allows reducing the area and cutting down the investments for water withdrawal construction and also creating the better conditions for equipment and mains operation. Design of interacting wells consists of finding the tube well number, the distance between them, the discharge and levels (static and dynamic). At operating condition determination, it is necessary to consider the combined action of pure water reservoirs and tube well.
