Paper Summary
The researchers studied the groundwater in Lagos, Nigeria's coastal plain sands. They used pumping tests to evaluate the water resources. By analyzing data from wells, they found that the aquifers are confined and have high transmissivity values. The tests also showed that poor well design and non-Darcian flow affect water drawdown. Overall, the study helps predict water yields in the area.
