Leaky aquifer

LEAKY AQUIFER

 

 Leaky aquifer system consists of aquifers interbedded with aquitards. The pumped well is located in the main aquifer. Hydraulic head in adjacent aquifer (or aquifers) may be either constant or alternating during the test period. Storage of the aquitard (or aquitards) may be also allowed for.
