rediced and that the greater the rate of withdrawal the greater
the redaction in static head.
In the Zellaq area it is evident that the rate of water
withdrawal is such that the hydraulic gradient necessary to
promote the flow in the porous media has resulted in a reduction
of static head in that area to a point where some of the existing
wells, once prolific,will not flow, or atleast flow at a very
much reduced rate. The drilling of other wells to effect this
reduced rate of flow will only farther reduce the static head,
will undoubtedly encourage greater waste and result in existing
flowing wells being farther reduced in productivity.
This latter statement is emphasized because one new well
has Just oeen completed at ^ubiliyat, another situated less than
a mile north o l ZellaQ. has Just been started and, we understandj
a third well is to be drilled south of zellaq.
