Sensitivity analysis of pumping tests in non-uniform aquifers
An approach for better understanding of the physical implication of estimated aquifer parameters is demonstrated by analysing the pumping test data at Cottam in the Nottingham aquifer, UK. A sensitivity analysis showed that the area represented by the estimated parameters was much smaller than the area covered by the depression cone. After parameters are estimated, further research should be ca...
متن کاملPumping tests in nonuniform aquifers The radially asymmetric case
An analytical solution for the case of transient, pumping-induced drawdown in a nonuniform aquifer is presented. The nonuniform aquifer is conceptualized as a uniform matrix into which a disk of anomalous properties has been placed. The disk can be arbitrarily located with respect tothe pumping well. This solution can be used to develop considerable insight concerning the nature of drawdown i n...
متن کاملVariable-Rate Pumping Tests for Radially Symmetric Nonuniform Aquifers
Conventional pumping test methodology is of limited effectiveness for defining the spatial distribution of aquifer properties because of the nonuniqueness of the parameter estimates. Sensitivity analysis can be used to develop a pumping test procedure that significantly decreases the uncertainty associated with the estimated parameters. This approach employs systematic variations in pumpage rat...
متن کاملCross-borehole flowmeter tests for transient heads in heterogeneous aquifers.
Cross-borehole flowmeter tests have been proposed as an efficient method to investigate preferential flowpaths in heterogeneous aquifers, which is a major task in the characterization of fractured aquifers. Cross-borehole flowmeter tests are based on the idea that changing the pumping conditions in a given aquifer will modify the hydraulic head distribution in large-scale flowpaths, producing m...
متن کاملA new method for the interpretation of pumping tests in leaky aquifers.
A novel methodology for the interpretation of pumping tests in leaky aquifer systems, referred to as the double inflection point (DIP) method, is presented. The method is based on the analysis of the first and second derivatives of the drawdown with respect to log time for the estimation of the flow parameters. Like commonly used analysis procedures, such as the type-curve approach developed by...
