Abstract
The analytical solutions given in the first chapters (see Chaps. 1–6) described pumping tests, involving a single pumping well with a constant discharge rate. This chapter gives basic relationships for calculating the drawdown in aquifers at (1) multi-well pumping tests with constant or variable discharge rates (Sects. 10.1 and 10.2) (2) simultaneous pumping from two adjacent aquifers (Sect. 10.3), and (3) dipole flow tests (Sect. 10.4). The solutions for the first two sections are provided by graphic-analytical procedures for processing input data.
