USING AQUIFERTEST
AquiferTest has a fresh new GUI design that consolidates the features available and improves the navigation through the program. A logical selection and arrangement of quick launch tabs afford users easy access to the main components of the software.
The AquiferTest graphical user interface has five main tabs:
Pumping Test
The starting point for entering your project info, selecting standard units, managing pumping test information, aquifer properties, and creating/editing wells.
Discharge
Used to enter your constant or variable discharge data for one or more pumping wells.
Water Levels
Where you enter data from time/drawdown observation wells.
Add barometric or trend correction factors to compensate for known variations in barometric pressure or water levels in your pumping or observation wells.
Analysis
View drawdown derivative data values and derivatives of type curves on analysis graphs for manual or automatic curve fitting and parameter calculations.
Reports
Create professional looking output using a number of pre-defined report templates.
