Abstract:The log-log and semi-log plots of the theoretical time-drawdown relationships for confined, unconfined,and leaky aquifers possess different characteristics,which can be used to identify the type of aquifer.By adjusting hydrogeological parameters,the calculated values of time-drawdown can best-fit with observed data from pumping tests,then the nearest hydrogeological parameters of pumping field can be obtained.This method was applied to six pumping tests in Tianjin area,which resulted in determination of the types of aquifers and the value range of their hydrogeological parameters.For the similar pumping tests and engineering,especially in Tianjin area,the method and values specified in this paper can be used for reference.
