Slug Tests

Slug Test is a field-based hydraulic testing method used to estimate aquifer properties, in which a sudden change in water level (a "slug") is introduced into a well and the subsequent recovery of the water level is monitored to infer formation characteristics such as hydraulic conductivity and storativity.
