Pumping Test Analysis Reimagined
Try the New Interactive Learning Module from the Groundwater Project
The Groundwater Project, in cooperation with the iNUX project, presents a brand-new interactive learning module that brings classical analytical solutions—Theis, Hantush-Jacob, and Neuman—to life. Whether you’re a student, educator, or groundwater professional, the tools in this module offer a hands-on way to explore pumping tests in an interactive and engaging way.
Estimate Aquifer Properties from Drawdown Data
The module invites users to explore synthetic pumping test data and estimate key parameters—transmissivity and storativity—using intuitive sliders and visual feedback. It’s a chance to engage with inverse modeling concepts in a truly accessible format.
Predict and Compare
Use your estimated parameters to predict future drawdown—and see how your results compare to simulations using the “true” values. This built-in feedback loop helps reinforce understanding and encourages critical reflection.
A Tool Built for Learning and Understanding
This module isn’t just a series of tools — it’s a guided educational experience. With clear explanations, structured tasks, assessments for self-checking, and even integrated video walkthroughs, it’s ideal for classroom use, self-study, or professional development.
The module is open source and freely available through the Groundwater Project. Recognizing the importance of accessibility, we have initiated work to translate the applications into multiple languages to support our global audience. Try it out today at:
