The field procedure (see Test Method D4050) involvespumping a control well at a constant rate and measur

18、ing thewater level response in one or more observation wells orpiezometers. The water-level response in the aquifer is afunction of the transmissivity and coefficient of storage of theaquifer. Alternatively, the test can be performed by injectingwater at a constant rate into the aquifer through the

19、controlwell.Analysis of buildup of water level in response to injectionis similar to analysis of drawdown of water level in response towithdrawal in a confined aquifer. Drawdown of water level isanalyzed by plotting drawdown against factors incorporatingeither time or distance from the control well,

20、 or both, andmatching the drawdown response with a straight line.4.2 SolutionThe solution given by Theis (1)3can beexpressed as follows:s 5Q4T*u e2yydy (1)where:u 5r2S4Tt(2)and:*u e2yydy 5 Wu! 520.577216 2 logeu (3)1u 2u22!21u33!32u44!414.3 The sum of the terms to the right of logeu in the seriesof

21、Eq 3 is not significant when u becomes small.NOTE 1The errors for small values of u, from Kruseman andDeRidder (1) are as follows:Error less than, %: 1 2 5 10For u smaller than: 0.03 0.05 0.1 0.15The value of u decreases with increasing time, t, anddecreases as the radial distance, r, decreases. The

22、refore, forlarge values of t and reasonably small values of r, the terms tothe right of logeu in Eq 3 may be neglected as recognized byTheis (2) and Jacob (3). The Theis equation can then be writtenas follows:s 5Q4TF20.577216 2 lnSr2S4TtDG(4)from which it has been shown by Lohman (4) thatT 52.3Q4s/l

A nonleaky aquifer receives insignificantcontribution of water from confining beds.5

25、.1.4 Discharge from the well is derived exclusively fromstorage in the aquifer.5.1.5 The geometry of the assumed aquifer and well condi-tions are shown in Fig. 1.5.2 Implications of Assumptions:5.2.1 Implicit in the assumptions are the conditions of radialflow.

28、 oftransmissivity and storage coefficient and time-drawdown cal-culations of storage coefficient. If possible, compute transmis-sivity from time-drawdown data from wells located within adistance, r, of the pumped well using data measured after theeffects of partial penetration have become constant.

29、The time atwhich this occurs is given by Hantush (6) by:t 5 b2s/2T Kz/Kr! (8)Fully penetrating observation wells may be placed at lessthan distance r from the control well. Observation wells maybe on the same or on various radial lines from the control well.5.2.2 The Theis method assumes the control

30、 well is ofinfinitesimal diameter. Also, it assumes that the water level inthe control well is the same as in the aquifer contiguous to thewell. In practice these assumptions may cause a differencebetween the theoretical drawdown and field measurements ofdrawdown in the early part of the test and in

31、 and near thecontrol well. Control well storage is negligible after a time, t,given by the following equation after weeks (7).t 525 rc2T(9)where:rc= the radius of the control well in the interval that includesthe water level changes.5.2.3 Application of Theis Nonequilibrium Method to Un-confined Aqu

32、ifers:5.2.3.1 Although the assumptions are applicable to confinedconditions, the Theis solution may be applied to unconfinedaquifers if drawdown is small compared with the saturatedthickness of the aquifer or if the drawdown is corrected forreduction in thickness of the aquifer and the effects of de

33、layedgravity yield are small.5.2.3.2 Reduction in Aquifer ThicknessIn an unconfinedaquifer, dewatering occurs when the water levels decline in thevicinity of a pumping well. Corrections in drawdown need tobe made when the drawdown is a significant fraction of theaquifer thickness as shown by Jacob (

34、8). The drawdown, s,needs to be replaced by s, the drawdown that would occur inan equivalent confined aquifer, where:s 5 s 2s22b(10)5.2.3.3 Gravity Yield EffectsIn unconfined aquifers, de-layed gravity yield effects may invalidate measurements ofdrawdown during the early part of the test for applica

Agencies that meet thecriteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard arecautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assurereliable results.

Withdrawal of contaminated waters mayrequire that the removed water be properly treated prior to discharge.6. Apparatus

However, if vertical flow componentsare significant and if partially penetrating observation wells areused, locate them at a distance beyond the effect of verticalflow components (see 5.2.1).

49、n solving for T and S (see 5.2.3.2).8.7 This test method is applicable only for values of u 0.01, that is:u 5r2S4Tt,0.01 (19)It is seen from Eq 19 that u decreases as time increases, otherthings being equal. Because S is in the numerator, the value ofu is much smaller for a confined aquifer, whose storagecoefficient may range from only about 105to 103, than for anunconfined aquifer, whose specific yield may be from 0.1 to0.3. To compensate for this, t must be greater by several ordersof magnitude in tes
