Prediction and Test Design

Making Predictions

AQTESOLV Advantage

Use any solution in AQTESOLV to predict future conditions.

"I chose AQTESOLV for its ease of use."
--David Preston, P.E., Peachtree Environmental

AQTESOLV is a powerful tool for aquifer test design and drawdown prediction. Use any of the aquifer test solutions in AQTESOLV to predict hydraulic response in an aquifer for a specified set of hydraulic properties, pumping rates, well locations and boundary conditions.

Performing Predictions with AQTESOLV

Extraction well array — Drawdown prediction (forward solution) for an array of 15 extraction wells. AQTESOLV places no internal limit on the total number of extraction wells allowed in a simulation and each well may have its own unique geometry and rate schedule.

To design a pumping test or predict future conditions with AQTESOLV, just follow these simple steps:

Use the Forward Solution Wizard to enter data for pumping and observation wells
Choose any solution method
Enter estimates of aquifer properties
Plot a type curve or prepare a contour plot to predict drawdown

To adjust hydraulic properties and see the effect on aquifer response, you can use handy tools found in the Match Toolbox.
