A HANDS-ON COURSE

Borehole and Aquifer Test Interpretation


This two day course presents an introduction to the practical interpretation of pumping test data for well efficiency and determination of aquifer properties. Appropriate level of data interpretation and the dangers of inappropriate use of the pumping test solutions are described. Implications of data errors, and the contrast between ideal conceptual models and real aquifers are highlighted. An introduction to Environmental Simulations AquiferWin32 pumping test interpretation software is provided, together with hands-on exercises designed to provide practical skills for the efficient analysis of pumping test results.

Topics include designing pumping tests; analytical and semi-analytical solutions used and the conceptual assumptions behind them; slug tests, step tests and constant yield tests, interpretation of aquifer transmissivity and storage parameters, interpretations for different aquifer characteristics, use of automated computer based tools.
