Groundwater is water located beneath the ground surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of geologic formations. A formation of rock/soil is called an aquifer when it can yield a useable quantity of water. The depth at which soil pore spaces become saturated with water is called the water table. Objective of this study is to relate the relationship of the groundwater flow movement due to pumping condition and to prove Darcy's Law equation is relevant to be applied in the study of groundwater flow. Based on title of the study, this project was carried out by using hydrology apparatus inside the laboratory with single pumping mode condition and seven different values of pumping flow rate (Cn.The measurement of piezometer head showed the illustration of water table drawdown in the ground when using the same size of sand which is 0.5 mm in the catchments area, and the same value of hydraulic conductivity (K) was equal to 3.0 x 10-3 m/day. Data from laboratory was compared with the value that simulated from Darcy's Law equation. The comparison of the data is not much different. The value of differences between Darcy's Law and experiment value were not exceeded than 10 percent. It's proved that the equation formulated by Henry Philibert Gaspart (1806¬1871) is valid to be applied in hydrology study. The result of this study highlighted the effects of pumping activity on water table level; higher rate of the pumping could cause the higher drawdown of water table especially at the well point. -Author.
