  • Measurement of drawdown (or recovery) in water levels relative to the pumping rate allowing the hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer to be evaluated.

The importance of test pumping

==> picture [178 x 102] intentionally omitted <==

Test pumping data answers the following critical questions:

  • The expected water yield from the well.

  • The most efficient pump to deliver the water supply.

Constant rate test Determines the hydraulic properties of the aquifer

  • Effect on the aquifer and nearby wells.

  • The aquifer’s hydraulic properties (transmissivity, permeability, storativity).

  • Optimal pumping rates required for dewatering.

  • Assessing effects of pumping on nearby environmental features (creeks, wetlands, neighbouring groundwater users).

  • Assessing effects of environmental changes on the well.
