An objective of selecting radial collector wells as the method of extracting
groundwater from aquifers is to obtain the greatest yield possible from the
aquifer, while utilizing the least available acreage on the surface. That objective
seems to fit the needs of nearly all users of radial collector wells, yet
multiple objectives are expressed by a host of water utilities who have elected
to install them. Urban planners worldwide can take advantage of releasing
expansive acreage dedicated to conventional well fields, to greater urban use by
constructing singular radial collectors. This paper presents a brief history of
radial collector wells and discusses their current use and recent engineering
advancements that make them attractive, especially for industrial use. Includes 2 references.
