Popis: The relationship between water quantity and clayey layer shows that water storage was very limited to an infiltration into the ground layer which is still retains as a surface water during recharge by precipitation. This paper consists of pumping analysis by using AQTESOLV model in a groundwater response for clayey area to identify the capability of water quantity actions during the discharge and recharge flows. Based to pumping analysis, including type of pump used, discharge rate, water table response, recharge rate, type of soil, and remaining time shows that this area was unconfined aquifer with has low hydraulic conductivity below than 9.6 mm/hr. Therefore, this simulation shows that the quantity and capacity of water intake able to withdrawal more than 40 m3/day by using 1hp pump and above with a constant rate after 4 days pumping continuously. The capability of storage and intake should be considered by natural (rainfall) or man-made recharge to show the water balance in the system whiles the process of pumping continuously. Therefore, this analysis able to predicts the capacity of groundwater storage at the clayey characteristics while it needs to improve any strategy to generate more water intake.
