Well Interference Issues
Unfortunately for the long term operations costs of water delivery systems, new well siting is often dictated by land ownership and distance to treatment plant implications, rather than aquifer resource management. This results in wells placed too close to other wells. Because the flow rate is directly relate to the amount of saturated thickness of the aquifer, and because the drawdown effect in any one well is the sum of the drawdown interferences produced by all the wells, well interference issues cause operational problems and increase energy costs.
Aqua TrueVue can be used to identify well interference, measure the effect, and ultimately predict what the optimal pumping rates should be to minimize the effects of interference. For systems with SCADA and variable frequency drives, Aqua TrueVue could be used to send information back to the SCADA system to automatically turn pumps up and down to minimize well interference costs.
