A. Slug test :

A slug test is a controlled field experiment to estimate the hydraulic properties of aquifers and aquitards, in which the water level in a control well is caused to change suddenly and the subsequent water-level response is measured through time in the control well and one or more surrounding observation wells.The goal of the slug test to estimate the hydraulic properties.A slug test is which where water is quickly added or removed from groudwater well.

D.Major difference between a slug test and a pumping test:

A pumping test is a field experiment in which a well is pumped at a controlled rate and water-level response (drawdown) is measured in one or more surrounding observation wells and optionally in the pumped well (control well) itself.

A field test is conducted in a confined aquifer by pumping a constant discharge of 14.9 m3/hr from 20-cm-diameter well. After an approximate steady state is reached, a drawdown of 0.98 m is measured in the pumped well. Also measured are drawdowns of 0.73 m, 0.65 m, 0.60 m, and0.57 m, respectively, at 8.0 m, 30.0 m, 80.0 m, and 132 m from the pumped well. Determine the transmissivity of this aquifer. Also, determine how far away from the well...
