GGU-PUMPTEST: Overview

Overview

The program is based on the theoretical principals described in:

• Langguth/Voigt
  Hydrogeologische Methoden (Hydrogeological Methods)
  Springer-Verlag
  ISBN 3-540-10174-8
  ISBN 0-387-10174-8

You can also acquaint yourself very quickly with the data input methods without reading the user-manual by going directly to the "File/New" menu.

Then select the evaluation method of your choice. After this, go to the "Test planning" menu. Enter the required values according to the selected evaluation method. The program will then simulate a pumping test and you can subsequently view the simulated values in the corresponding menu items.

The individual methods will now be explained in more detail. In addition, an example will be described in each case. All examples are provided as files with the program and can be loaded and viewed.

You must enter a drawdown for all evaluation methods. These drawdown values are so-called depth-to-(ground)water values: That is, the values must be entered as positive downwards (measured from the at-rest water level).
