ABSTRACT
The single packer method is useful where the full length of the bore hole cannot stand uncased/ungrouted in soft rocks, such as soft sand stone, clay shale or due to the highly fractured and sheared nature of the rocks, or where it is considered necessary to have permeability values side by side with drilling. Where the rocks are sound and the full length of the hole can stand without casing/grouting, the double packer method may be adopted. The disadvantage of the double packer method is that leakage through the lower packer can go unnoticed and lead to overestimation of water loss.
