Geology 210 Class Preparation Questions

Aquifer Properties and Flow to Wells

How do time-drawdown curves vary as a function of aquifer

properties – storativity and transmissivity, in particular?

Describe each of the following pump test approaches: Theis, Jacob,

distance-drawdown. Why are these approaches best used with

confined aquifer situations?

How are aquifer boundaries reflected in time-drawdown curves?

How are leaky confining layers identified in pump tests?

What is a slug test?
