Computer simulations in hydrogeology - test pumping analysis (Aquifer Test) 1300-WSKHAPP
The practical classes is dedicated to:
- presentation of the theoretical calculation diagrams for the pumping test and pressure abrupt tests,
- schematization of the conditions of water inflow to the well,
- interpretation of test pumping results under steady-state inflow conditions,
- interpretation of test pumping results under transient flow conditions,
- well efficiency assessment,
- characteristics of the wall effect,
- the use of the Aquifer Test software in the analysis of the trial pumping tests, the preparation of diagnostic charts and secondary analyses, enabling the determination of the parameters of the aquifer from the test data,
- creating isoline maps showing the depression of the water table as a result of pumping at defined time steps,
- determining the value of technical parameters and indicating the optimal efficiency of the well,
