TP – 1193 An Introduction to Groundwater Aquifer Pumping Tests for Professional Engineers

Description

In practically all ground-water investigations, data are required on the aquifer characteristics, transmissivity, storativity, and boundaries. Several methods of making such tests with various degrees of accuracy are available. When inventorying existing wells, the data collected often include yield and drawdown, from which specific capacity values may be determined. This technical paper discusses methods of estimating the transmissivity of aquifers from such specific capacity data.
