Documentation of spreadsheets for the analysis of aquifer-test and slug-test data
Keith J. Halford, Eve L. Kuniansky
2002, Open-File Report 2002-197
Several spreadsheets have been developed for the analysis of aquifer-test and slug-test data. Each spreadsheet incorporates analytical solution(s) of the partial differential equation for ground-water flow to a well for a specific type of condition or aquifer. The derivations of the analytical solutions were previously published. Thus, this report abbreviates...
