Select either the Professional or Standard version of AQTESOLV to meet the requirements of your aquifer test analyses.
 
Standard Version Professional Version
bulletProvides a basic set of pumping test, constant-head test and slug test solutions. The solutions found in the Standard version are comparable to those found in competing software packages for aquifer test analysis.
bulletOffers the most complete set of aquifer test solutions. Choose the Professional version for access to sophisticated solutions and features not found in other commercially available software packages. 
 
The Modeling Pro version provides the same solutions as the Professional version.
