Well Hydraulics and Aquifer testing Item Info

PURPOSE: Well Hydraulics and Aquifer Testing will be a two-day program that presents an overview of the concepts, theories, and procedures that have been developed to evaluate important aquifer coefficients. The course is designed for geoscientist, engineers, and other professionals who want to increase their knowledge of current aquifer testing methods and their applications. Discussions will focus on the meaning of important aquifer coefficients in confined and unconfined aquifers and aquitards. Topics included are porosity, Darcy's Law, hydraulic head, hydraulic gradient, hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, specific yield, storativity, specific storage and aquifer and aquitard compressibility. Accepted theories of aquifer testing will be presented. Discussions will include the use and limitations of the Thiem and Theis equations, the Jacob Straight Line Method, the Hantush-Jacob Method, the Hantush Modified Method, the Ratio Method, and unconfined aquifer methods. PARTICIPANTS: This course will cover important topics in aquifer test design and analysis. The discussions are designed to increase your understanding of aquifer testing methods and their limitations. Practicing geoscientists, engineers, and other professionals and graduate students will benefit from this course. The course is designed for professionals with a basic understanding of ground water flow. INSTRUCTORS: Dr. James Osiensky is an Associate Professor of Hydrogeology at the University of Idaho and is stationed in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Boise State University. Mr. Thomas Brooks is an Associate Professor of Hydrogeology in the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at the University of Idaho.
