| COURSE TITLE | PROVISION & USE OF SOFTWARE FOR SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS OF PUMPING & OBSERVATION WELL BEHAVIOUR, INCLUDING ANALYTICAL PREDICTION OF WELL LOSSES. |
| COURSE DESCRIPTION | A free copy of ‘pumping test
‘software, developed by Professor John Barker, is provided. Its installation and use
on a ‘Windows’ environment is described. The software accurately describes
changes in groundwater level in and around a large diameter well in leaky and non-leaky
confined aquifers. It simulates the classical methods of pumping test analysis of Theis,
Jacob ,Hantush and Papadopulos and Cooper .Special routines allow simulation of non-steady
pumping regimes and the automatic calculation of best-fit values of aquifer and
leaky-aquifer Properties from pumping test data. Special software using simple spreadsheet methods also allow the prediction of well-losses. This latter method allows far better prediction of well- water- level behaviour and more accurate interpretation of ‘step-drawdown’ analysis. It can be used to great advantage in the statutory requirement of, the assessment of outputs of groundwater sources in the UK. Solving of real data is done during the course; the solving of client’s data is encouraged. |
