Aquifer Test Software

This software is a product of Schlumberger Network Solutions. From the developer: With the ability to characterize your aquifer and analyze pumping and slug tests, AquiferTest Pro features all of the tools you need in one convenient groundwater data analysis program. The project team also developed TPA. Test Pumping Analysis or TPA is a windows-based software program, developed in Delphi. The software is a curve fitting procedure for analysing fractured rock pumping test data. TP A includes the following methods to analyse fractured-rock pumping test data: Moench method for double porosity aquifers. Suggested Operating Procedures for Aquifer Pumping Tests It is intended for use by those professionals involved in characterizing sites which require corrective action as well as those which are proposed for ground water development, agricultural development, industrial development, or disposal activities.

AquiferTest Pro v.3.5 is the latest software technology for graphical analysis and reporting of pumping test and slug data. This powerful yet easy-to-use program has everything you need to quickly and easily calculate the hydraulic properties of your aquifer using a comprehensive selection of pumping test and slug test solution methods for:

Confined aquifers
Unconfined aquifers
Leaky aquifers
Fractured rock aquifers

AquiferTest Pro 3.5 now includes 6 powerful forward/predictive solution methods. Forward solutions, also known as predictive analyses, represent a new methodology for analyzing pumping test data. Instead of matching field data (observed draw-down data) to a given set of curves, forward solutions allow you to calculate water levels/drawdown at any given point, based on estimated transmissivity and storativity. This allows you to

Optimize planning for future pumping well locations
Develop more effective pumping rates and durations
Understand the effects of well interference
Improve the design of pumping tests

Preface

This report documents several spreadsheets that have been developed for the analysis of aquifer-pumping test and slug-test data. Each spreadsheet incorporates analytical solution(s) of the partial differential equation for ground-water flow to a well for a specific type of condition or aquifer. The spreadsheets were written in Microsoft Excel version 9.0. Use of trade names does not constitute endorsement by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The spreadsheets have been tested for accuracy using datasets from different aquifer tests or generated from the analytical solution. If users find or suspect errors with these spreadsheets, please contact the USGS.
