This really depends on where you are and a lot of other factors. A minimum acceptable flow rate for a family of 4 would be about 3 gallons per minute into the well. A "good" (good flow rate, we aren't taking about the quality of the water here, just the volume) well would produce 5 or more gallons per minute. According to my local well driller here in Western PA, a "gusher" is 20 gallons per minute coming into the well.

Why as the water falls its speed increases and the area of cross section decreases?
It is explained by mass conservation, and water being an incompressible fluid. Imagine water going through a pipe with varying inside diameters Di's. Water will flow the fastest in the pipe section with the smallest diameter, and will flow the slowest in the widest section of the pipe. The product of the volumetric average velocity of the water flow v, times the cross section area A, is equal to the volumetric flow rate (vol/time) G. G = v∙A If you have a constant volumetric flow rate, if the area reduces to half, the velocity doubles. By the way, if you multiply the volumetric flow rate G by the liquid density ρ, you get the mass flow rate Q, (mass/time). Q = G∙ρ = ρ∙v∙A
A weir gauge would be used to measure the?
flow rate of water
How water flow rate affect performance of vapour compression cycle?
the sun heat up the water
How do magnets affect the flow rate of water?
It speeds it up the flow rate of water. But the reason why is because of when the magnetic forces attract and repel it increases the water pressure. The rate of moving water is determained by both air and water pressure. :) Doing an exiperiment and yes it does change in speed. (increases)
How do you calculate the maximum flow rate for all sizes of pipes?
For pressure pipe fill a 5 gal bucket of water and time it to get gal per minute. For gravity flow rate should be 2.5 feet per second. Determine how high the flow is in the pipe and use pie r squared times L for capacity.
How is a body of water's rate of flow related to its rate of deposition?
As the rate of flow decreases, the rate of deposition increases
What is the importance of water flow rate?
water flow rate is important, because geysers and new designer mixers depend on adequate pressure. proper water flow rate should be 2 meters per second
What is the average flow rate of water within a 32mm pipe at UK mains pressure?
30 litres per minute
A structure built with rocks to redirect the flow of water in a stream and increase they rate of the water's flow is?
watermelon
Water flow rate half inch PVC pipe 65 psi?
Water flow rate half inch PVC pipe 65 psi?
What is The rate at which liquids flow is called?
Viscosity is the term.
What is the average rate of water flow through an average or a specified type of shower sprinkler?
If you keep a spriknler flowiung for about 8 to 7 hours than the water will be done. Approximately 15 to 25 litres per shower.
What is the average blood flow rate of monkey?
It depends on the type of monkey

How are viscosity and flow rate related?
viscosity is inversely proportional to the flow rate. the actual formula is complex , but higher the viscosity slower will be the flow rate. honey flows slowly and air flows freely because of the above reason.viscosity is also essential,otherwise we would have never been able to use an ink pen.viscosity makes the ink to flow on paper
What is the typical Flow rate of water in a sink?
.5 gpm
Comparing the flow of water and electric current the rate of flow liters per minute is comparable to the?
Voltage
