Aquifer Test SolutionsAQTESOLV features a
comprehensive suite of analytical solutions for evaluating pumping test,
slug test
and constant-head test data
in confined, unconfined, leaky and fractured aquifers. Select either the Professional or Standard version of AQTESOLV to meet the requirements of your aquifer test analyses.

 | The Theis (1935) and
Hantush-Jacob (1955)
step-drawdown test solutions include linear
and nonlinear well losses and allows you to compute well efficiency. |
| The Papadopulos-Cooper (1967),
Dougherty-Babu (1984), Moench
(1997), Moench (1985), Moench
(1984) and Barker (1988) solutions include wellbore storage effects for pumping tests
performed in confined, unconfined, leaky and fractured aquifers. |
| The solutions for slug tests apply to the analysis of single-well underdamped and overdamped slug tests in unconfined and confined aquifers. |
| The solutions for constant-head tests apply to single-well configurations. Choose from solutions for confined, leaky and fractured aquifers. |

AQTESOLV includes solutions by
Butler (1998),
Springer-Gelhar (1991) and
Butler-Zhan (2004) for the
analysis of slug tests with oscillatory response due to
inertial effects. These solutions allow you to analyze data with underdamped and
overdamped response and include a correction for frictional well loss in
small-diameter wells.
AQTESOLV includes solutions by
Dougherty-Babu (1984),
Hyder et al. (1994),
Butler-Zhan (2004) w/inertial effects
and Barker-Black (1983) for the
analysis of slug tests with observation wells. These solutions allow you to analyze data
at both the test well and one or more observation wells.
AQTESOLV includes a sophisticated solution by Neuman and Witherspoon (1969) for the analysis of a confined two-aquifer system with leakage. Unlike the Hantush-Jacob (1955) and Hantush (1960) solutions for leaky aquifers, the Neuman-Witherspoon (1969) solution accounts for drawdown in the unpumped aquifer.
AQTESOLV provides
three methods
for analyzing fractured aquifers with single fractures. For
pumping tests, the Gringarten-Witherspoon
(1972) solution accounts for a single vertical plane fracture in an
anisotropic fractured medium (uniform flux and infinite conductivity); the Gringarten-Ramey (1974)
solution predicts drawdown in an anisotropic fractured aquifer with a single
horizontal plane fracture. For constant-head tests, the
Ozkan-Raghavan (1991)
method simulates a single vertical plane fracture.
AQTESOLV includes the Murdoch (1994) solution for the analysis of flow to an interceptor trench. Perform aquifer tests with remedial trenches!
The Papadopulos-Cooper
(1967), Dougherty-Babu (1984), Moench (1997), Moench (1985), Moench (1984)
and Barker (1988) solutions include wellbore storage
effects for pumping tests performed in confined, unconfined, leaky and fractured
aquifers. Wellbore storage is an important, often overlooked, factor in single-well
tests.

The Theis
(1935), Dougherty-Babu (1984) and Hantush-Jacob (1955)
step-drawdown test solutions include linear and nonlinear well losses
and allows you to compute well efficiency.
All of the pumping tests solutions in AQTESOLV include variable-rate analysis. With this feature, you can use any of the pumping test solutions in the program to simulate stepped variations in pumping (including recovery).
All of the pumping tests
solutions in
AQTESOLV include variable-rate
analysis. With this feature, you can use any of the type curve solutions in
the program to simulate recovery as well as drawdown during a pumping test.
AQTESOLV now includes the Agarwal
method for analyzing data from a recovery test!

Enter multiple observations
from an aquifer test into a single data set. Analyze all of the observation wells
simultaneously using distance-drawdown and composite
plots and determine a single set of aquifer properties that unifies all of the observation
data.
Perform distance-drawdown and composite plot analyses for multiple observation wells.
Enter multiple pumping wells into a data set to include the effects of other pumping wells (extraction or injection) on your test.
Automatically generate image wells for single and multiple boundary
configurations including strip aquifers.
AQTESOLV includes solutions for partially penetrating wells in confined, unconfined, leaky and fractured aquifers.
To design an aquifer test using AQTESOLV, use the convenient Forward Solution Wizard to enter data for the pumping and observation wells, choose any solution method, enter estimates of aquifer properties, and plot a type curve to predict drawdown. Example.
