Aquifer Testing by Karen Dawson
New! A practical, easy-to-use reference for the design and analysis of groundwater pumping and slug tests Aquifer Testing: Design and Analysis of Pumping and Slug Tests is a complete design and analysis reference emphasizing practical solutions for engineers, scientists, consultants, and students knowledgeable in basic ground water theory. The book discusses such models as steady-state, transient flow with constant discharge, slug injection or withdrawal, and step discharge. This valuable book is an expansion on our best seller Groundwater Pumping Tests: Design and Analysis (Walton 1987). Part I contains general information about pumping tests, including how to design a pumping test, select an appropriate model, correct data, and analyze results. Part II is devoted to aquifer models and features hydrogeologic conditions, flow and geometry assumptions, governing differential equations, initial and boundary conditions, and analytical solutions for different models. BASIC coding for computer programs from which type curves may be developed and drawdown predicted are included in an appendix and on diskettes included in the book.Karen Dawson is a member of the geotechnical staff of CH2M Hill in Bellevue,
Washington. She received an M.S. in geotechnical engineering with an environmental
engineering minor and focus on groundwater from Oregon State University. She also has
B.S. degrees in civil and forest engineering from Oregon State University. Karen was
formerly an employee of the Washington State Department of Transportation and involved
with the design of the Seattle I-90 project. Jonathan Istok is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Oregon
State University. He specializes in the development of statistical and mathematical models
for groundwater flow and contaminant transpon processes. He is the author of the
American Geophysical Union Water Resources Monograph Groundwater modeling by the
finite element method.
