Aquifer Pumping Test

Pumping tests are carried out to determine how much groundwater can be taken from a well, and what effects pumping will have on the aquifer and neighboring wells.

How an aquifer responds to pumping can be estimated by measuring:

• transmissivity - the rate at which water passes through an aquifer

• storativity – how much water is stored in an aquifer.
