A wide variety of well drilling techniques and well completion methods is used in the installation of dewatering and artificial recharge wells for the purpose of construction dewatering. The selection of the optimal well type is always a trade-off between the overall costs of well completion and development, the optimal well hydraulics of the well itself, the hydraulic impact of the well on its surroundings, and the required operational life span of the well. The present study provides an analytical framework that can be used by dewatering and drilling companies to quantify the contribution to head loss of typical dewatering and artificial-recharge well configurations. The analysis shows that the placement of partially penetrating wells in high-permeability layers could promote the use of quick and cheap installation of naturally developed wells using jetting or straight-flush rotary drilling. In high-permeability layers, such wells can be favorable over wells completed with filter pack, which require extensive well development to remove the fines from the filter cake layer. The amount of total head loss during discharge/recharge at a volumetric rate of 20 m³/h per meter of filter length, into or from a gravely aquifer layer, is reduced by factors of 3–4 while using naturally developed well types instead of well types completed with a filter pack that contains a filter cake layer due to borehole smearing.
