Estimating aquifer thickness using multiple pumping tests

摘要: A method to estimate aquifer thickness and hydraulic conductivity has been developed, consisting of multiple pumping tests. The requires short-duration cycles on an unconfined with significant seasonal water-table fluctuations. interpretation several tests at a site in India under various initial conditions provides information the change hydrodynamic parameters relation level. transmissivity linearly decreases compared water level, suggesting homogeneous distribution depth. is estimated from slope this linear relationship. extrapolation relationship between level that good agreement geophysical investigations. hydraulically active part located both shallow weathered underlying densely fractured zones crystalline basement. However, no found storage coefficient This new contributes filling methodological gap single tomography, providing variation global according It can be applied any experiencing large fluctuations short cycles.
