Question

Aquifer testing conducted to determine hydraulic parameters is:

• A. Time Drawdown Test
• B. Step–Drawdown Test
• C. Step–Injection Test
• D. Time–Groundwater Level Rise Test

Hint:

Time drawdown tests measure aquifer characteristics by analyzing water level decrease over time.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding Aquifer Testing
Aquifer tests determine hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, and storage coefficient.
Step 2: Evaluating Options
- Time Drawdown Test: Measures water level changes over time, determining aquifer properties. -
Step–Drawdown Test: Determines well performance, not aquifer properties. -
Step–Injection Test: Used in artificial recharge studies. - Time–Groundwater Level Rise Test: Used in monitoring recharge, not hydraulic parameters.
