Overview

What is AquiferTest Pro?

Groundwater management begins by determining the characteristics of the aquifer. Numerous water level measurements are taken in the field during pumping or slug tests and are then interpreted using an analytical model of aquifer flow. These aquifer characteristics are then used to predict drawdown effects caused by pumping, and to determine the presence of flow boundaries or well interference during pumping. However, interpreting the field measurements is often a tedious task that involves managing vast amounts of data over time.

Diagnostic plots for choosing the best analysis

AquiferTest provides a set of powerful diagnostic plots that help you easily identify model assumptions and select the most appropriate analytical solution for your pumping test data.

An extensive suite of analytical methods

AquiferTest delivers an extensive set of solutions suitable for all types of aquifers and test conditions. Analyse confined, unconfined, leaky, and fractured aquifers. Account for various well conditions including wellbore storage, horizontal wells, and single-well analyses.

Click an the 'Analysis Methods" tab to discover the range of analysis methods included with the software.

Colour contouring and color shading

Gain a deeper understanding of your test data and take your reports to the next level with colourful contour maps showing drawdown data and well interference over aerial and satellite site maps.

Automatic analysis reports

Automatically transform raw analyses to professional-quality reports that include your company logo, name, project information, well data, analysis graphs and site maps. Reports templates can be customized exactly the way you want them, and saved as PDFs for easy sharing.

Barometric and baseline trend correction

AquiferTest Pro provides pre-processing tools that ensure your water levels are corrected for baseline trends (trend effects) and barometric pressure changes.

Automatic type curve fitting

Show type curve families on analysis graphs for enhanced visual curve matching of complex aquifer conditions arising from variable pumping rates, aquitard storage and boundary effects.
