Previous exposure to the subject matter is not required, but would be beneficial to the reader. The book's brief introduction/discussion of first-order equations is followed by an excellent array of practical field problems and data analyses. The reader will not be overwhelmed by deriviation, but, instead is provided very sensible and workable methods for making-sense of your field numbers.

Simply stated, it is a "must have" for better understanding and applying the results of your field tests.

The text is a fundamental source for practicing hydrogeologists analyzing aquifer test data. Almost a necessity on every hydrologist book shelf. Though its first edition was first written thirty years ago, the new edition is a welcome update. The scarcity (and essential nature) of this text had driven the price on the second hand market to unreasonable heights.

This was the main reference book for my master's thesis on pump test at hardrock/crystalline rock aquifer. The book has, I think, the most comprehensive sections on variable discharge test and linear flow test.

Most important, the book shows step by step on how to calculate for any pump test equations.

This a very comprehensive reference text encompasing all subjects realted to pumping of ground water and the realated analysis of test data. It is widely used at graduate-level geology classes like USF.The translation is well writen. Easy reading. Lots of graphs and good appendices. A must have for people doing testing and data analysis!

Lots of equations and no practical examples. Gives examples of every type of puping test and qauifer condition and the equations necssary to solve them.
