Abstract
This chapter considers several basic solutions for calculating the drawdown in observation wells and piezometers during constant-discharge pumping tests from horizontal and slanted wells in a confined aquifer (Sect. 7.1), an unconfined aquifer (Sect. 7.2), or a leaky aquifer (Sect. 7.3). All solutions are given for aquifers of infinite lateral extent with vertical anisotropy taken into account.
