9、ield procedures for conduct-ing an aquifer test on a well that is flowing, that is, the head inthe well remains above the top of the well casing. This methodinvolves inducing a constant drawdown and measuring thevarying discharge rate from the control well.5. Significance and Use5.1 Constant drawdow

10、n test procedures are used with ap-propriate analytical procedures to determine transmissivity,hydraulic conductivity, and storage coefficient of aquifers.6. Apparatus6.1 Various types of equipment can be used to measure theflow rate of the well. The equipment shall be sized so that itdoes not const

11、rict the flow rate from the well.6.2 An apparatus shall be placed on the control welldischarge line such that the well can be shut in to prevent flowprior to conducting this field procedure and so that theapparatus will not constrict flow from the well when it isallowed to flow.6.3 Head measurements

12、 can be made using one of thefollowing apparatuses:6.3.1 StandpipeA pipe or piece of well casing may beinstalled to extend above the elevation of the discharge.

16、llowing methods described in TestMethod D4750.6.3.2 Pressure MeasurementA pressure gauge (mechani-cal gage, manometer, or pressure transducer) may be installedbelow the shut-in mechanism in the control well. Determinethe head elevation by adding the pressure reading (expressed inthe height of the wa

17、ter) to the elevation of the sensor of thepressure gage.6.4 Control WellThis practice requires that water flowfrom a single well. This well, known as the control well, shallbe drilled and completed such that it transmits water from theaquifer (usually the entire thickness of the aquifer) as effi-cie

18、ntly as possible to reduce head loss between the aquifer andthe well. Well development should be as complete as possibleto eliminate additional production of sediments (aquifer par-ticles or drill cuttings) and consequent changes in well effi-ciency during the test.7. Procedure7.1 Pretest Procedures

19、:7.1.1 Select Aquifer Test MethodDevelop a conceptualmodel of the site hydrogeology and select the appropriateaquifer test method according to Guide D4043. Observe therequirements of the selected test method with regard tospecifications for the control well and observation wells.7.1.2 Field Reconnai

20、ssanceMake a field reconnaissanceof the site before conducting the test to collect as much detailas possible on the depth, continuity, extent, and preliminaryestimates of the hydrologic properties of the aquifers andconfining beds. Note the location of existing wells and water-holding or conveying s

21、tructures that might interfere with thetest. Turn off nearby wells well before the test, and disableautomatic pump controls throughout the anticipated test period.Alternately, it may be necessary to pump some nearby wells orallow them to flow throughout the test. If so, the discharge shallbe at a co

22、nstant rate, and shall not be started or stopped duringthe test and prior to the test for a duration at least equal to thatof the test. The control well should be equipped with a pipelineor conveyance structure adequate to transmit water away fromthe test site, such that the structure does not imped

23、e the flow ofwater from the control well.7.1.3 Construction of Control WellScreen the control wellthroughout the full extent of the aquifer to be tested.7.1.4 Test of Control WellTest the control well by allowingthe well to flow and then stopping the flow. Based on therecovery response, make a preli

24、minary estimate of the hydrau-lic properties of the aquifer and estimate the initial flow ratefrom the control well expected during the aquifer test.7.1.5 Testing Observation WellsTest observation wells orpiezometers prior to the aquifer test to ensure that they arehydraulically connected to the aqu

25、ifer. Accomplish this byadding or withdrawing a known volume of water (slug) andmeasure the water-level response in the well. The resultantresponse should be rapid enough to ensure that the water levelin the observation well or piezometer will reflect the waterlevel in the aquifer during the test. A

26、lternatively, if observationwells are flowing, measure their response in a manner similarto that described for the control well. Redevelop wells orpiezometers with unusually sluggish response.7.1.6 Measure the pressure head in the shut-in control welland observation wells (if any) to determine the t

27、rend of waterlevels before the commencement of the test. This period shouldbe at least equal to the length of the flowing portion of the test.7.2 Test Procedure:7.2.1 Based on pretesting results and the conceptual modelof the site (see Guide D4043), select the duration of the test.7.2.2 Shut in the

28、Control WellCompletely stop flow fromthe control well prior to conducting the test for a period at leastas long as the anticipated duration of the flowing portion of thetest.7.2.3 Discharge from Control WellAllow the control wellto flow at a variable rate. The flow rate will vary naturally tomaintai

29、n a constant drawdown at the control well.7.2.4 Measure Discharge RateMeasure and record thedischarge rate frequently during the early phase of discharge;increase the interval between measurements in a logarithmicmanner as pumping continues.NOTE 1Table 1 presents a suggested frequency of discharge m

30、easure-ments.7.2.5 Measure Water LevelMeasure and record the waterlevels in nearby wells at a frequency similar as presented inTable 1.7.3 Post-Testing Procedures:7.3.1 Tabulate water levels, including pre-flowing (shut-in),flowing, and post-flowing levels. For each well or piezometerrecord the date

31、, clock time, time since flowing started orstopped, and the measurement point.7.3.2 Tabulate the rate of discharge of the control well, thedate, clock time, time since flowing started or stopped, and themethod of measurement.7.3.3 Prepare a written description of each well, describingthe measuring p

32、oint, giving its elevation and the method ofobtaining the elevation, and the distance of the measuring pointabove the mean land surface.7.3.4 Plot the Rate of Discharge Versus TimePrepare aplot of the rate of discharge versus the time since dischargebegan.8. Report8.1 Prepare a report containing fie

33、ld data including a de-scription of the field site, plots of water level and dischargewith time, and preliminary analysis of data:TABLE 1 Example of Measurement FrequencyFrequency Elapsed Time1 measurement every:30 s 3 min1min 3to15min5 min 15 to 60 min10 min 60 to 120 min20 min 2 to 3 h1h 3to15h5 h

35、uilt description and diagrams of all controlwells, observation wells, and piezometers.8.1.3 A map of the site showing all well locations, thedistances between wells, and locations of all geologic bound-aries or surface-water bodies which might affect the test.8.1.3.1 The locations of wells and bound

36、aries that affect theaquifer tests need to be known with sufficient accuracy toprovide a valid analysis. For most analyses, this means thelocations must provide data points within the plotting accuracyon the semilog or log-log graph paper used in the analysis.Radial distances from the control well t

37、o the observation wellsusually need to be known with 60.5 %. For prolonged large-scale testing, it may be sufficient to locate wells from maps oraerial photographs. However, for small-scale tests, well loca-tions should be surveyed using land surveying methods. Whentest wells are deep relative to th

38、eir spacing it may be necessaryto conduct well-deviation surveys to determine the true hori-zontal distance between well screens in the aquifer.8.1.4 Include tabulated field data collected during the test.9.
