In our last blog, we discussed what the Aquifer Performance test is! (Read On the previous blog https://www.frenviro.net/aquifer-testing-techniques-for-improved-hydro-geologic-site-characterization/ to know more). To ascend it further, we will talk about the “Use of Aquifer Testing.” Read on Further – Aquifer testing and groundwater modeling estimate the hydraulic properties of an aquifer system. And, for the pumped aquifer, one can decide on transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity (horizontal and vertical), and storativity (storage coefficient). In fact, through these tests, one can estimate the properties of aquitards (vertical hydraulic conductivity and specific storage). These tests can identify and locate recharge and no-flow boundaries that may limit the lateral extent of aquifers as well. Groundwater constitutes 25% of the freshwater used in the United States. It is especially significant for irrigation and domestic uses in remote areas, where surface water is not readily…
