Constant-Head Test

AQTESOLV features solutions methods for the analysis of constant-head (constant-drawdown) tests.

Analysis of discharge data measured during a constant-head test in a leaky confined aquifer.

Recovery Analysis

Interpretation of recovery data obtained after a constant-head test requires special analytical techniques because of the change of boundary condition from constant head to constant rate.

AQTESOLV features an exact method of analyzing these recovery tests. You may use residual drawdown plots or the Agarwal method to analyze recovery data from a constant-head test.

Analysis of recovery data measured after a constant-head test in a leaky confined aquifer.
