Slug Test Interpretation

Slug Test Interpretation is a methodological framework within aquifer test analysis that involves the systematic evaluation of transient hydraulic head responses to an instantaneous change in water level (a "slug") in order to estimate localized aquifer hydraulic properties, particularly transmissivity and storativity, under controlled, short-term field conditions.
