What's New in AquiferTest (Pro) v4.1?

AquiferTest Pro v.4.1 now incorporates several high-demand analysis methods, along with increased functionality which now offer you the ability to expand the scope of your pumping test and slug analysis including the:

• Theis recovery analysis method, a traditional pumping test method with fixed assumptions
• Cooper-Jacob analysis method (Time-Drawdown, Distance-Drawdown, and Time-Distance Drawdown) which allows the user to show the Cooper-Jacob validity line
• Boulton analysis method for the analysis of pumping tests in unconfined aquifers, anisotropic or isotropic, with fully or partially penetrating wells
• Seamless import .MON files from Diver dataloggers directly into AquiferTest Pro saving you time
• Ability to display statistics of the automatic fit, show the quality of the fit, export to .txt or .xls file formats, copy or print.

AquiferTest Introduction

AquiferTest v4.0 is the latest software technology for graphical analysis and reporting of pumping test and slug data. This powerful yet easy-to-use program has everything you need to quickly and easily calculate the hydraulic properties of your aquifer using a comprehensive selection of pumping test and slug test solution methods for:

• Confined aquifers
• Unconfined aquifers
• Leaky aquifers, and
• Fractured rock aquifers

AquiferTest v4.0 represents a major leap forward in pumping test analysis technology. With the integration of derivative analysis capabilities, trends corrections, and data contouring, you will have the tools to analyze and report your pumping test data like never before!
