Peres Et Al. Slug Test Solution for Confined Aquifers

Description

A mathematical solution by Peres et al. (1989) is useful for determining the hydraulic conductivity of confined aquifers. The Peres et al. method is based on an exact equation for transforming slug test data into equivalent head data for a constant-rate pumping test with wellbore storage and skin effect. Analysis involves matching a straight-line solution to equivalent head data.

AQTESOLV for Windows provides visual and automatic methods for matching the Peres et al. solution to slug test data. This easy-to-use and intuitive software promotes rapid and accurate determination of aquifer properties.

Assumptions

The following assumptions apply to the use of the Peres et al. solution:

	aquifer has infinite areal extent
	aquifer is homogeneous, isotropic and of uniform thickness
	aquifer potentiometric surface is initially horizontal
	test well is fully penetrating
	a volume of water, V, is injected or discharged from the well instantaneously
	aquifer is confined
	flow is unsteady
	water is released instantaneously from storage with decline of hydraulic head
