CONE OF DEPRESSION

Domain	Definition
Environment	A depression in the water table that develops around a pumped well. (references)
Hydrologic	The depression, roughly conical in shape, produced in a water table, or other piezometric surface, by the extraction of water from a well at a given rate. The volume of the cone will vary with the rate of withdrawal of water. Also called the Cone of Influence. (references)
Mining	The depression, approx. conical in shape, that is produced in a water table or in the piezometric surface by pumping or artesian flow. The shape of the depression is because of the fact that the water must flow through progressively smaller cross sections as it nears the well, and hence thehydraulic gradient must be steeper.
