A fundamental part of hydrogeological assessments involves determining the hydrodynamic properties of aquifers. To achieve this, it is necessary to plan, execute, and interpret pumping tests, which can be used both for aquifer characterization and for determining the optimal flow rate and evaluating the operational efficiency of production wells.
Pumping tests for aquifer characterization involve pumping a well for a predetermined period and measuring the drawdown rate over time in one or more observation wells. The results are interpreted using well-known analytical solutions, such as Theis, Hantush, and Neuman, among others.
In this online course spanning three mornings (12 hours), we will cover both the practical aspects that must be considered for the successful execution of pumping tests and the application of analytical solutions to interpret their results.
During the training, we will use the AquiferTest software, an excellent tool to assist in interpreting and visualizing test results, whether for defining aquifer parameters or evaluating well efficiency.
