Analysis of data from pumping tests in leaky aquifers

Abstract

Graphical methods are outlined for determining the coefficients of transmissibility storage, and leakage of an effectively infinite leaky artesian aquifer. The procedure is based on the theory, developed by Hantush and Jacob, of the nonsteady flow toward a steadily discharging well from an infinite leaky aquifer. Applications of these methods are illustrated by treating data from the Roswell artesian basin in New Mexico.
