Wellfield Simulations

This will be my last post for 2007, so let me begin by expressing my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all of you who have either become new AQTESOLV customers or continued to support the software by upgrading in the past year. As always I'm working hard to add new features that will maintain AQTESOLV's status as the leading software for aquifer test analysis.

As many of you already know, AQTESOLV includes the capability to model more than one pumping well in either pumping test analyses or predictive simulations. You may enter a variable pumping rate schedule for each well. For example, you can use the multiple pumping well feature to predict total drawdown in a wellfield as shown in the contour plot.

Another use of this multi-well feature would be to include the effect of more than one pumping well in the analysis of a pumping test (e.g., a domestic well that turns on and off during your test). Image wells can be simulated in the same way.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!
