1、Designation:D5270/D5270M20Standard Practice for(Analytical Procedures)Determining Transmissivity andStorage Coefficient of Bounded,Nonleaky,ConfinedAquifers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5270/D5270M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original
2、 adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This practice covers an analytical procedure for deter-mining the transmi
3、ssivity,storage coefficient,and possiblelocation of boundaries for a confined aquifer with a linearboundary.This practice is used to analyze water-level or headdata from one or more observation wells or piezometers duringthe pumping of water from a control well at a constant rate.This practice also
4、applies to flowing artesian wells dischargingat a constant rate.With appropriate changes in sign,thispractice also can be used to analyze the effects of injectingwater into a control well at a constant rate.1.2 The analytical procedure in this practice is used inconjunction with the field procedure
5、in Test Method D4050.1.3 LimitationsThe valid use of this practice is limited todetermination of transmissivities and storage coefficients foraquifers in hydrogeologic settings with reasonable correspon-dence to the assumptions of the Theis nonequilibrium method(see Practice D4106)(see 5.1),except t
6、hat the aquifer is limitedin areal extent by a linear boundary that fully penetrates theaquifer.The boundary is assumed to be either a constant-headboundary(equivalent to a stream or lake that hydraulicallyfully penetrates the aquifer)or a no-flow(impermeable)boundary(equivalent to a contact with a
7、significantly lesspermeable rock unit).The Theis nonequilibrium method isdescribed in Practices D4105/D4105M and D4106.1.4 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,ea
8、ch system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in noncon-formance with the standard.Reporting of results in units otherthan SI shall not be regarded as nonconformance with thisstandard.1.5 All observed and calculated values shall conform to thegui
