Prediction and Test Design
AQTESOLV is a powerful tool for aquifer test design and drawdown prediction. Use any of the aquifer test solutions in AQTESOLV to predict hydraulic response in an aquifer for a specified set of hydraulic properties, pumping rates, well locations and boundary conditions.
- aquifer test design
- predictive simulation
- transient groundwater flow modeling
- infinite and bounded aquifers
- simulate extraction and/or injection wells
- groundwater mounding
Performing Predictions with AQTESOLV
Drawdown prediction (forward solution) for an array of 15 extraction wells.
AQTESOLV places no internal limit on the total number of extraction wells allowed in a simulation
and each well may have its own unique geometry and rate schedule.
To design a pumping test or predict future conditions with AQTESOLV, just follow these simple steps:
- Use the Forward Solution Wizard to enter data for pumping and observation wells
- Choose any solution method
- Enter estimates of aquifer properties
- Plot a type curve or prepare a contour plot to predict drawdown
To adjust hydraulic properties and see the effect on aquifer response, you can use handy tools found in the Match Toolbox.
