    AbstractOur study points on a small groundwater well field of Arad City (Romania). We built in EPANET a model of the Mandruloc groundwater well field (13 wells). Due to the metering of the consumers, the demand dropped, so the well field is working at partial loads. We simulated the operation of the well field, by stopping 3 and 6 successive wells, placed at different positions. To avoid the wells overcharge, calculations were performed assuming that pumps run at variable speed. The proposed pumping algorithm gives better results with respect to a previous solution with orifice plates
