ABSTRACT
Estimating the physical properties of water-bearing layers is an essential part of groundwater studies. One of the most eective ways of determining these properties is to conduct and analyze aquifer tests. e principle of an aquifer test is simple: water is pumped from a well tapping the aquifer and the discharge of the well and the changes in water levels in the well and in piezometers at known distances from the well are measured. e change in water level induced by the pumping is known as the drawdown. In the literature, aquifer tests based on the analysis of drawdowns during pumping are commonly referred to as “pumping tests.”
