DR. Mahdi S. Hantush (1921–1984) was a prominent Iraqi-born American hydrologist known for his analytical work on leaky aquifers and well hydraulics. He was the founder of the New Mexico Tech Hydrology Program. His granddaughter is Yasmin Younis, the 2018 Student Commencement Speaker at Boston University’s 185th Commencement, which went ...
Aquifer testing is a common tool that hydrogeologists use to characterize a system of aquifers, aquitards and flow system boundaries. A slug test is a variation on the typical aquifer test where an instantaneous change (increase or decrease) is made, and the effects are observed in the same well.
In hydrology, a well test is conducted to evaluate the amount of water that can be pumped from a particular water well.More specifically, a well test will allow prediction of the maximum rate at which water can be pumped from a well, and the distance that the water level in the well will fall for a given pumping rate and duration of pumping.
Jacob is a common masculine given name of Hebrew origin. The English form is derived from the Latin Iacobus , from the Greek Ἰάκωβος ( Iakobos ), ultimately from the Hebrew יַעֲקֹב ( Yaʿaqōḇ ), the name of Jacob , biblical patriarch of the Israelites , and a major figure in the Abrahamic religions .
the aquifer material is incompressible (no change in matrix due to changes in pressure — aka subsidence), the water is of constant density (incompressible), any external loads on the aquifer (e.g., overburden, atmospheric pressure) are constant, for the 1D radial problem the pumping well is fully penetrating a non-leaky aquifer,

Unconfined aquifers are sometimes also called water table or phreatic aquifers, because their upper boundary is the water table or phreatic surface (see Biscayne Aquifer). Typically (but not always) the shallowest aquifer at a given location is unconfined, meaning it does not have a confining layer (an aquitard or aquiclude) between it and the ...
The Leaky Acres Recharge Facility is a groundwater recharge facility located in Fresno, California. The facility began as a joint research project by the City of Fresno water division and the US Department of Agriculture. It first began percolating water in 1971 and was subsequently expanded and duplicated in other areas of the city.
