A pump test was conducted to determine potential drawdowns & well interferences from a new irrigation well installed in a farming area with significant groundwater withdrawals. Three wells, the pumping well and two observation wells previously installed livestock wells were monitored via manual and instrument measurements during the course of the test. Use radial distances of ft for observation well A and ft for observation well B Test Timeline: A hour pre test starting at at : am and ending at : pm was conducted in order to determine a pumping rate the well could be sustained for a hour pump test. The pumping rate varied between gpm during the test. Water levels were still recovering when the hour test began at : am on with a pumping rate of gpm The pump was shut off on at : am Though there are considerable differences in depths the area is in a basin surrounded by hills all three wells are screened in sands underlying a thick unit of clay. Determine the storativity and transmissivity of the aquifer to two
