Slug testing

Upon completion, students will be able to:

• • Plan and conduct a slug test to estimate aquifer conductivity.
  • Analyze a slug test using both graphical methods and with software (Aqtesolv).
  • Conduct slug tests in an open hole, a screened well, and with packers to test a single fracture.
  • Understand the advantages and disadvantages of the test.
  • Describe the uncertainty in your measurements

Pumping test in fractured bedrock

Upon completion, students will be able to:
