Conceptual Design and Yield Ranney Collector Conceptual Design and Yield
Equations to Quantify Yield
Input Parameters / Design Assumptions T = 482,600 gpd/ft S = 0.313 K = 5602 gpd/ft sq B = 86 feet A = 700 feet Zi = 75 feet Laterals – 10 to 12 Lateral Radius – 0.5 ft Lateral Length – 200 ft Caisson Radius – 8 ft Pumping Level – 15 ft above laterals
