class Well(name, radius, coordinates, welldepth=1.0, aquiferdepth=None, screensize=None)

Bases: object

Class for a pumping-/observation-well.

This is a class for a well within a aquifer-testing campaign.

It has a name, a radius, coordinates and a depth.

Parameters

• name (str) – Name of the Variable.

• radius (Variable or float) – Value of the Variable.

• coordinates (Variable or numpy.ndarray) – Value of the Variable.

• welldepth (Variable or float, optional) – Depth of the well (in saturated zone). Default: 1.0

• aquiferdepth (Variable or float, optional) – Aquifer depth at the well (saturated zone). Defaults to welldepth. Default: "None"

• screensize (Variable or float, optional) – Size of the screen at the well. Defaults to 0.0. Default: "None"

Notes

You can calculate the distance between two wells w1 and w2 by simply calculating the difference w1 - w2.

Attributes

aquifer

float: Aquifer depth at the well.

aquiferdepth

Variable: Aquifer depth at the well.

coordinates

Variable: Coordinates variable of the well.

depth

float: Depth of the well.

info

Get information about the variable.

is_piezometer

bool: Whether the well is only a standpipe piezometer.

pos

numpy.ndarray: Position of the well.

radius

float: Radius of the well.

screen

float: Screen size at the well.

screensize

Variable: Screen size at the well.

welldepth

Variable: Depth variable of the well.

wellradius

Variable: Radius variable of the well.

Methods

distance(well)	Calculate distance to the well.
save([path, name])	Save a well to file.

distance(well)

Calculate distance to the well.

Parameters

well (Well or tuple of float) – Coordinates to calculate the distance to or another well.

save(path='', name=None)

Save a well to file.

This writes the variable to a csv file.

Parameters

• path (str, optional) – Path where the variable should be saved. Default: ""

• name (str, optional) – Name of the file. If None, the name will be generated by "Well_"+name. Default: None

Notes

The file will get the suffix ".wel".
