Proceedings of a pressure transducer-packer workshop, June 25-28, 1991 Proceedings of a pressure transducer-packer workshop, June 25-28, 1991
The U.S. Geological Survey conducted its first Pressure Transducer-Packer Workshop in Denver, Colorado, June 25-28, 1991. Nineteen attendees from the Survey, Environment Canada, academia, and the private sector presented papers concerning their experiences with the use of transducers and packers in hydrogeologic investigations. Workshop partici- pants concluded that fixed-head packers...

Concentration history during pumping from a leaky aquifer with stratified initial concentration Concentration history during pumping from a leaky aquifer with stratified initial concentration
Analytical and numerical solutions are employed to examine the concentration history of a dissolved substance in water pumped from a leaky aquifer. Many aquifer systems are characterized by stratification, for example, a sandy layer overlain by a clay layer. To obtain information about separate hydrogeologic units, aquifer pumping tests are often conducted with a well penetrating only...

Response of well aquifer systems to Earth tides: Problem revisited Response of well aquifer systems to Earth tides: Problem revisited
Two recent works cause us to reexamine Bredehoeft's (1967) analysis of earthtide response of water wells. Narasimhan et al. (1984) raise several questions regarding Bredehoeft's (1967) analysis and suggest that the analysis is internally inconsistent. They argue that one cannot directly estimate the specific storage, which characterizes the drained behavior of a porous medium, from earth...

A new formula for the analytical solution of the radial dispersion problem A new formula for the analytical solution of the radial dispersion problem
A new formula is presented for the analytical solution of the radial dispersion problem, which analyzes the dispersive transport of a tracer in radial flow from a recharge well. This formula is simpler than a solution presented by previous investigators, but the two solutions are shown to be equivalent. Because the analytical solution consists of an integral of an oscillatory function...
