From open well
Q=kAH
K is 1 /hour for coares sand
Take discarge in meter cube/hour
Area as cross section of circle 3.14*r2
Finally answer comes 3

@Nani.

Discharge is converted to m^3/hr because.
(C'/A) value is 1 in m^3/hr/m^2 under unit drawdown,
Q=(C'/A) * A * s.

Q=0.0059 cumec = 21.24 m^3/hr.

S=3.
Hence; A=7.08 m^2.
D= 3.

Q=KiA ; i=3m; A = 0.785d^2; K=1 Q=0.0059m^3/sec=21.24m^3/hr.
21.24=1*3*0.785*d^2,
d^2=(21.24)/(3*0.785)=9.0191,
d=3m.

@Kevia why did you convert it in m3/hr?

Units is given in cumsec (m3/s).

Answer is coming 0.050 according to formula.
