Pumping test analysis

Description
-
The analysis of pumping tests aims to evaluate aquifer properties, specifically Transmissivity (T) and Storativity (S), as well as well characteristics like yield. These tests involve measuring drawdown in pumping and observation wells over time and assessing recovery after pumping stops. Various methods exist for interpreting this data, with graphical techniques such as the Cooper-Jacob method being common. Specific capacity, which indicates a well's ability to yield water, is derived from pump discharge and drawdown measurements. Different approaches are used for bore and dug wells, with Slichter’s method applicable for dug wells to estimate specific capacity based on recovery data.
