Abstract

Abstract

This article briefly introduces recent researches on horizontal wells in water resources and environmental engineering. This paper focuses on the location of semi-analytical solutions of groundwater flow to horizontal wells under different aquifer conditions such as confined, leaky confined, unconfined aquifers and aquifers under streams. The type curves and the derivative type curves of drawdowns are analyzed. Such semi-analytical solutions are useful for the interpretation of drawdowns characteristics after intermediate pumping time. This article also studies the hydraulics of a horizontal well at a large pumping rate, which is commonly used for dewatering and water supply. The authors have to consider the hydraulic head loss within the wellbore and to incorporate the Darcian flow and the pipe-flow into an integrated flow system. This article discusses vapor extraction in the unsaturated zone using horizontal wells and provides simplified analytical solutions to describe vapor pressure distribution and vapor flux across the ground surface (if the ground is open). It also reports the capture zone and capture time calculations under different aquifer conditions.
