Publication Summary

During our evaluation of ground-water quantity throught the state we often ecounter pump test data which are inadequate for aquifer analysis. In many cases much time, effort, and money were expended but because of failure to record readily available information, or to make accurate measurements, a test which would have yielded much aquifer dates, did not. It is the purpose of this paper to point out precautions that must be taken, the tools needed and the recording of date necessary to produce reliable basic date which can be used for determination of aquifer characteristics.
