The analytic methods used in determining aquifer parameters

It is very important to determine groundwater flow parameters for identifying of groundwater potential. Transmissivity (T) and storage coefficient (S) has been given in this thesis by using classical and new methods which is used in identifying of parameters. In the first section of the thesis, some information about importance, aim, methodology and formation of this study has been given. In the second section, a comprehensive examination on aquifer and aquifer types has been made. In the third section, principal properties of aquifer parameters have been examined based on literature and their explanations have been given. In the fourth section, the methods which were developed as based on steady groundwater flow have been examined in determining aquifer parameters. In the fifth section, the methods which were developed as based on un-steady groundwater flow have been analyzed in determining aquifer parameters. In the six section, an examination, made for nuclear energy station which is planned to construct in İçel by T.E.K. and investigations of pumping well (No: 22148-B), drilled by D.S.İ. to ensure 50 lt/sec clean water for the nuclear station, and observation wells have been given. In the seventh section, the methods given in the forth and fifth sections have been applied on field data. In the eighth section, the results of performed method and comment have been given. Keywords: Aquifer parameters, transmissivity, storage coefficient, pumping and observation wells. xin
