Estimation of aquifer parameters by least-squares method under linear flow conditions in fractured rocks

Abstract

Pumping and recovery test data in phyllite formations were analysed under linear flow conditions by incorporating modification in the method proposed by Sen (1986). This method has been used for large-diameter well-test data by taking average inflow rate in the well. The results obtained were compared with Sen's graphical method. The estimated values of transmissivity and storage coefficient were acceptable at 1% level of significance. -from Authors
