Unlocking Groundwater Secrets: New Method Reveals Hidden Aquifer Parameters
Groundwater movement and composition in basaltic rock aquifers can be understood by estimating key factors like transmissivity and storativity. Researchers used pumping tests with MODFLOW software to determine these parameters, crucial for managing groundwater resources and predicting water table changes during pumping. The study showed that aquifer parameters can be accurately estimated through pumping tests, providing essential information for groundwater management and protection.
