Can you control hydraulic head by pumping water at a certain GPM?

Yes you can. If you pump water from a bore faster than the the well can replenish it, then there will be a dip in the water table (reduction in hydraulic head) around the well. There is an equation that explains it all, but I can't remember whats its called. I remember doing it at uni but its very complicated. Basically it describes the curve in the water table that occurs when you pump too much water.Can you control hydraulic head by pumping water at a certain GPM?
Yes you can!





But, there is a lot of good characteristic of oil we can use rather than water.


Like you know, water is easy to get corroded (if you use it inside hydraulic head from metal, it will get corroded), and its boiled point is low (only 100 celcius). While oil have a veri high boiled point.
