Pumping tests are a common method used in hydrogeology to assess the characteristics of aquifers and wells. During a pumping test, water is pumped out of a well at a constant rate while measurements are taken of the water level in the well and nearby observation wells. This data is then used to determine parameters such as the hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, storativity, and potential well yield of the aquifer. Pumping tests can provide valuable information for designing and managing groundwater systems, assessing groundwater resource sustainability, and investigating potential contamination or leakage issues.
