Despite understanding the importance of aquifer testing, many hydrogeologists and site managers lack adequate training in test design, execution and data analysis needed to produce reliable, meaningful results.
Test your pumping test preparedness by answering these basic questions:
1. Design Objectives
• Does the design meet the objective of the aquifer test?
• What information can I expect from the test?
• What are some ways to improve efficiency?
• What are the risks and benefits associated with different test designs?
2. Construction
• How many wells are needed?
• How should wells be constructed?
• Where do I place observation wells?
3. Field Equipment and Software
• How do I select the right equipment and software for reliable results?
• How do I recognize a problem?
• Can I troubleshoot problems if they arise?
4. Subsurface Variability
• What happens in extreme conditions of high and low hydraulic conductivity formations?
• What tools and techniques can I use to obtain reliable data?
5. Analysis Strategies
• Which strategies are appropriate?
• How can I be sure my analysis is correct?
