AquiferTest - The Most Popular Software Package for Pump Test Analysis and Slug Test Analysis and Reporting Is Now Even Better!

Introduction

test and slug data. This powerful yet easy-to-use program has everything you need to quickly and easily calculate the hydraulic properties of your aquifer using a comprehensive selection of pumping test and slug test solution methods for:

Confined aquifers

Unconfined aquifers

Leaky aquifers

Fractured rock aquifers

AquiferTest Pro 3.5 now includes 6 powerful forward/predictive solution methods. Forward solutions, also known as predictive analyses, represent a new methodology for analyzing pumping test data. Instead of matching field data (observed draw-down data) to a given set of curves, forward solutions allow you to calculate water levels/drawdown at any given point, based on estimated transmissivity and storativity.

This allows you to:

Optimize planning for future pumping well locations

Develop more effective pumping rates and durations

Understand the effects of well interference

Improve the design of pumping tests

AquiferTest Pro 3.5 leverages the latest software development technologies to give you the best available software solution for managing, interpreting and presenting your aquifer testing data.

New Features

• Enhanced GUI Design - fresh GUI design consolidates features and offers improved navigation throughout the program
• Expanded Data Import - import data from Excel, ASCII, TXT, Diver Data Logger or virtually any other data logger on the market!
• New Diagnostic Graphs - on-the-fly comparison of field data vs. diagnostic graphs provide a quick assessment of the aquifer type, presence of boundaries, etc
• Advanced Derivative Analysis - graphically display drawdown or type curve derivatives for improved assessment of pump test data
• Improved Analysis Methodology - revolutionary approach allows users to assess a multitude of aquifer conditions as an alternative to type curve matching
• Trends Correction* - compensate for barometric pressure effects or trends in water levels following U.S. EPA-SOP for Aquifer Pumping Tests. Or create custom trends (e.g. Tidal Influence)
• Data Contouring* - graphically display drawdown contours with color shading over a site map
• Plus many, many more...
