Single-Well and Multi-Well Test Solutions |
 |
AQTESOLV is a complete
aquifer test software package that provides the most
methods for determining
aquifer properties from single-
and multi-well test
configurations for both pumping tests and
slug tests!
Now you can use AQTESOLV
to analyze data from constant-head tests!
|
|
Agarwal Method for Recovery Analysis |
 |
AQTESOLV includes
the method by Agarwal (1980) for analyzing
recovery tests.
Agarwal's method allows you
to analyze recovery data with standard curves developed for drawdown
analysis. For example, you may use familiar curves for the Theis (1935) or
Neuman (1974) solutions to match recovery data.
|
|
Generalized Radial Flow Model |
 |
AQTESOLV includes
the generalized radial flow model by Barker (1988) for analyzing
pumping tests and
constant-head tests. The
generalized radial flow model allows you to analyze integral and
nonintegral flow dimensions and is useful for fractured aquifers.
|
|
Automatic Image Well Generation |
 |
Use AQTESOLV
to analyze pumping tests in bounded aquifers (e.g., faults, streams and
strip aquifers). Just enter boundary locations and AQTESOLV
will generate the required array of image wells for you automatically!
|
|
Solutions for
Underdamped Slug Tests |
 |
AQTESOLV includes
solutions by
Butler (1998),
Springer-Gelhar (1991) and Butler-Zhan (2004) for analyzing a
underdamped slug test with oscillatory response in high-K
confined and unconfined aquifers.
AQTESOLV also implements a correction for frictional well
loss in small-diameter wells (Butler 2002). Click

demonstration!
|
|
Single
Fracture Solutions |
 |
Choose AQTESOLV to get
advanced solutions for aquifers with discrete vertical
(uniform flux and infinite conductivity ) and horizontal
plane fractures!
|
|
Solution for a Confined Two-Aquifer System |
 |
AQTESOLV includes a
sophisticated solution by Neuman and Witherspoon (1969) for analyzing a confined
two-aquifer system with leakage. Analyze drawdown in the pumped
aquifer, the aquitard and the unpumped aquifer!
|
|
Interceptor
Trench Solution |
 |
Use AQTESOLV
to
perform aquifer tests with remedial
trenches with a solution by
Murdoch (1994) for the analysis of flow to an
interceptor trench.
|
|
Intuitive Data Set
Wizards |
 |
AQTESOLV
streamlines data entry with its Pumping Test Wizard, Slug Test Wizard,
Constant-Head Test Wizard
and Forward Solution Wizard
(for aquifer test design). Each wizard combines graphical prompts
with tips and hints to help you enter data accurately and efficiently.
|
|
Versatile Import Wizard |
 |
Enter field data in seconds with the easy-to-use and versatile Import Wizard
(another AQTESOLV
first)! The wizard includes useful conversion functions for
importing test measurements from most popular data loggers (including
In-Situ and Solinst products). Use the
Import Wizard to check data in the field!
AQTESOLV
also lets you copy-and-paste data from spreadsheets (e.g., Excel).
|
|
Easy Access to Data in Spreadsheets |
 |
Do you want to edit a data point on a graph? Just double-click it, and a
spreadsheet appears with the point located for you
automatically!
|
|
Diagnostic Plots |
 |
State-of-the-art diagnostic plots
help you to
choose
appropriate solution methods for your test data
and reduce uncertainty
by identifying wellbore storage, fracture flow and other important
conditions that are essential for thorough analysis of an aquifer test.
|
| |
Solution Expert |
 |
AQTESOLV
introduces the Solution Expert,
an intuitive tool designed to help you find appropriate solution methods
for your aquifer test. Use the Solution Expert to select solution
characteristics (e.g., wellbore storage, wellbore skin, etc.), and AQTESOLV
automatically displays a list of solution methods that meet the criteria.
|
|
Active Type Curves |
 |
AQTESOLV introduced
Active
Type Curves, an innovative feature
for visual curve matching
that overcomes the limitations of static type curves used in traditional type curve
analysis. Click here for video
demonstrations!
|
|
Type Curve Families |
 |
AQTESOLV displays
type curve families that you can
customize to
facilitate
visual curve matching.
|
|
Derivative Matching and
Analysis |
 |
AQTESOLV
lets you perform
derivative analysis and interactive curve matching with
combined displacement-derivative plots to
enhance
parameter estimation.
|
|
Statistical Analysis |
 |
AQTESOLV
helps you evaluate model goodness-of-fit with curve-fitting statistics
and diagnostic plots.
|
|
Contouring |
 |
AQTESOLV
automatically displays 2- or 3-D contour plots in plan or cross-sectional
view using Surfer.
Order Surfer when you purchase AQTESOLV from
HydroSOLVE!

Mounding |
 |
Use AQTESOLV
to simulate groundwater mounding beneath
rectangular and circular recharge areas with solutions by Hantush
(1967).
