Excerpt

The subject article refers to the well known Thiem equation (Theim 1906), used to allocate areas with high groundwater potential and to determine the maximum allowable pumping rate. The authors (El-Hames and Al-Ahmed 2005) wrote Thiem’s equation in a discrete form introducing new concepts regarding hydraulic gradient and flow to wells. These are: “positive components of hydraulic gradient”, “negative components of hydraulic gradient”, “gaining well”, “and ‘losing well’”. The proposed approach was applied to Hada Al-Sham aquifer, Western Saudi Arabia. The methodology was enhanced with geographical information systems (GIS). It was concluded that the best groundwater location was found in the alluvial area. Consequently, areas with certain ranges of pumping rate were delineated. …
