Pumping Test Analysis

AQTESOLV provides the most comprehensive set of features and solution methods of any competing software for the interpretation of pumping test data.

In addition to constant-rate tests, virtually all of the pumping test solutions in AQTESOLV also allow you to match variable-rate tests including recovery.

You may use the pumping test solutions in AQTESOLV for single-well tests (drawdown measurements in the pumped well) or multi-well tests (drawdown measurements in observation wells).

Advanced Solutions

Single-Fracture Models
Only AQTESOLV includes solutions for vertical and horizontal fractures. Both uniform-flux and infinite-conductivity models are available.
Confined Two-Aquifer System
Only AQTESOLV provides the solution by Neuman and Witherspoon (1969) for a confined two-aquifer system. Drawdown calculations are available for the pumped and unpumped aquifers plus the aquitard.
   
Horizontal Wellsnew2.gif (111 bytes)
Only AQTESOLV includes a solution for a horizontal well in a confined aquifer.
Interceptor Trench
Only AQTESOLV includes a solution for an interceptor trench.
   
Confined/Unconfined Conversionnew2.gif (111 bytes)
AQTESOLV includes a solution by Moench and Prickett (1972) for a confined aquifer undergoing conversion to unconfined conditions.
Nonuniform Aquifersnew2.gif (111 bytes)
AQTESOLV includes a solution by Butler (1988) for nonuniform aquifers.
   
Water-Table Aquitardnew2.gif (111 bytes)
AQTESOLV now includes a solution by Cooley and Case (1973) for a leaky confined aquifer overlain by a water-table aquitard.

Wellbore Storage

AQTESOLV contains solutions for finite-diameter wells to accommodate wellbore storage in pumped well data.
