New method improves accuracy of aquifer characteristics and drawdown calculations!
The article presents a solution for calculating water flow in wells that have decreasing discharge rates over time. By considering how water levels in wells drop as pumping rates decrease, the researchers developed a method that accounts for this change. They used a discharge-time exponential function to model the decreasing pumping rate. The solution they developed allows for more accurate calculations of aquifer characteristics and drawdown during short-term pumping tests. This method can help determine important parameters for water management and resource assessment.
