Notes:
The concept of the observation well as a measuring instrument with its own response characteristics is developed, and a method for response evaluation is derived based on methods of slug-test analysis. The effect of well response time upon the results of semiconfined aquifer tests is calculated and a series of type curves is produced. The ambiguity of observation well response affected leaky aquifer tests is demonstrated.A method for calculating well response time based on estimates of aquifer parameters and observation well dimensions is also presented to aid the proper design of aquifer tests. It is recommended that a slug test should be performed on every observation well used in confined or semiconfined aquifer tests.
