3、nsmissivityfrom the measurement of water-level response to a suddenchange of water level in a well-aquifer system characterized asbeing critically damped or in the transition range from under-damped to overdamped.Underdamped response is character-ized by oscillatory changes in water level;overdamped
4、 re-sponse is characterized by return of the water level to the initialstatic level in an approximately exponential manner.Over-damped response is covered in Guide D4043;underdampedresponse is covered in D5785,D4043.1.2 The analytical procedure in this test method is used inconjunction with Guide D4
5、043 and the field procedure in TestMethod D4044 for collection of test data.1.3 LimitationsSlug tests are considered to provide anestimate of the transmissivity of an aquifer near the wellscreen.The method is applicable for systems in which thedamping parameter,is within the range from 0.2 through 5
