Abstract
For a long time, groundwater has been used for a substitution for surface water but recently many problems have risen due to shortage of water resources and decrepitude of waterwells. Pneumatic fracturing technique is likely to be an efficient way to solve the problem of tile wells, in which pressure under the ground is applied to increase the amount of ground water. When applied pressure is given artificially to unstabilize the rock stress or to remove substances between fractures the groundwater can inflow. As the air pressure applied on the base rocks is stronger, permeability is getting higher, thus producing much groundwater than ever before. The result of this study show 15% increase of pumping rate in the P-5 well. After pneumatic fracturing pumping rate changed from 26m3/day to 30m3/day, drawdown rate increase from 51.12m to 56.58m, and specific yield also increased from 0.51m3/day to 0.53m3/day.
