The following equation uses Darcy's equation with pumping occurring at the center of a cylinder. This equation can be utilized to determine the cone of depression and well drawdown in an unconfined aquifer.

Solving for pressure head at point 2.

Inputs:

pressure head at point 1 (h₁)
flow rate (Q)
radius point 1 (r₁)
radius point 2 (r₂)

Conversions:

pressure head at point 1 (h₁)	=	=	meter
flow rate (Q)	=	=	meter^3/day
radius point 1 (r₁)	=	=	meter
radius point 2 (r₂)	=	=	meter
coefficient of permeability (K)	=	=	meter/day

Solution:

pressure head at point 2 (h₂)
