        "note": "Specific capacity = pumping rate ÷ drawdown (the drop in water level while pumping) — gallons per minute per foot. It measures how freely the well gives up water. Projected yield ≈ specific capacity × the available drawdown, but the relationship flattens at higher rates, so treat it as an upper guide and test at the real rate.",
