Summary

TLDRThis tutorial video guides viewers through creating and analyzing a basic pumping test using OER Test software. It begins with setting up a new project, explaining the workflow, and entering essential data such as project details, well information, and pumping rates. The video then demonstrates how to input water level measurements and perform a T analysis, including both manual and automatic curve fitting. It concludes with interpreting the results, showcasing the software's capabilities for hydrogeological analysis.

Takeaways

  • 😀 The video demonstrates how to create and analyze a basic pumping test using OER Test software.
  • 🔍 The OER Test software is used for hydrogeological analysis, specifically for pumping tests.

  • 💧 The pumping test tab is used to input basic project information and details about the wells involved in the test.
  • 📊 The discharge tab allows users to enter data on the rates at which different pumping wells were pumped.
  • 📈 The water levels tab is for entering water level measurements from both pumping and observational wells.
  • 📋 The analysis tab is where users select the type of analysis, such as the Theis method, and fit it to a type curve.
  • 📁 Users can create a map and export reports using additional tabs in OER Test, though these are not covered in the video.
  • ⚙️ The video provides a step-by-step guide on how to input data into the OER Test software for a pumping test analysis.
  • 📉 The analysis results, including transmissivity and storage coefficient, are displayed in the results pane for each well.
  • 🛠️ OER Test offers both manual and automatic curve fitting options, with the latter using the ODAC fit button for convenience.

Q & A

  • What is the purpose of the video?

    -The purpose of the video is to demonstrate how to create and analyze a basic pumping test using OER Test software.

  • What is the first step in creating a new project in OER Test?

    -The first step in creating a new project in OER Test is to ensure that 'Create pumping test' is checked and then select the 'Create a new project' button.

  • What is the basic workflow in OER Test for analyzing a pumping test?

    -The basic workflow in OER Test involves starting from the leftmost tab and working towards the rightmost tabs, entering information and performing analyses step by step.

  • What are the four essential tabs used in the pumping test workflow?

    -The four essential tabs used in the pumping test workflow are the 'Pumping Test' tab, the 'Discharge' tab, the 'Water Levels' tab, and the 'Analysis' tab.

  • How does one add a new well in the pumping test tab?

    -To add a new well in the pumping test tab, one clicks the 'Click here to create a new well' button, which adds a well with the type automatically set to 'Observation well' by default.

  • What information is entered in the discharge tab?

    -In the discharge tab, one enters the pumping data for various pumping wells, including the rates at which different pumping wells were pumped at.

  • How can variable discharges be entered in OER Test?

    -Variable discharges can be entered in OER Test by selecting the 'variable' button and then filling out the table with the time and discharge rate for each pumping period.

  • What type of data is entered in the water levels tab?

    -In the water levels tab, one enters the water level observations for various wells, which can include drawdown data and static water level measurements.

  • What is the significance of the analysis tab in OER Test?

    -The analysis tab in OER Test is where one selects the type of analysis, fits it to a type curve, and can perform multiple analyses on a pumping test if desired.

  • How can one visualize the drawdown data in OER Test?

    -One can visualize the drawdown data in OER Test by selecting the well and checking the box to display the data. The graph can be changed to a log-log form for better visualization of the TI data.

  • What are the results displayed in the results pane of OER Test?

    -The results pane in OER Test displays the calculated best fit parameters such as transmissivity and storage coefficient, which are derived from the analysis of the pumping test data.
