14、dure foranalyzing data collected during a constant drawdown aquifertest. This test method is usually performed on a flowing well.After the well has been shut-in for a period of time, the well isopened and the discharge rate is measured over a period of timeafter allowing the well to flow. The water

15、level in the controlwell while the well is flowing is the elevation of the opening ofthe control well through which the water is allowed to flow.Data are analyzed by plotting the discharge rate versus time.NOTE 1This test method involves the withdrawal of water from acontrol well that is fully scree

16、ned through the confined aquifer. Thewithdrawal rate is varied to cause the water level within the well to remainconstant. The field procedure involved in conducting a constant drawdowntest is given in Practice D5786. Methods used to develop a conceptualmodel of the site and for initially selecting
