Abstract
Based on Darcy-Gersevanov law concerning a flow relation between water and solids, we derive the horizontal movement of solid frame resulted from a discharging well in a Theis-Thiem confined system, and further analyze the relations among the horizontal movements and pumped time t as well as radius r from the discharging well. As applications of the theory, we propose some new interperations for ground fissure activity and casing failures induced by groundwater withdrawal or injection.
