Ehdotuksen tiedot

This International Standard describes the factors to be taken into consideration and the measurements to be made when designing and performing a pumping test. It also presents a set of guidelines for field practice taking into account the diversity of objectives, aquifer types, groundwater conditions, available technology, and legal frameworks. The standard outlines the fundamental components typically included in a pumping test and provides information on how these components can be adapted to reflect local conditions. It addresses the common types of pumping test conducted for water-supply purposes, in which water is extracted from the entire screened, perforated, or unlined interval(s) of a well. This International Standard provides only general guidance on the interpretation of data collected during a pumping test. Detailed procedures and methodologies for data analysis and interpretation are provided in specialized literature. Examples of such references are listed in the selected bibliography.
