This study presents a new method for analyzing groundwater flow in confined aquifers, extending the Darcian Theis solution to account for non-Darcian conditions using Izbash's equation. This approach helps determine aquifer properties like storativity and hydraulic conductivity, even in complex flow scenarios.

Area of Science:

  • Hydrogeology
  • Fluid Dynamics

Background:

  • Traditional pumping test analysis relies on Darcian flow assumptions, which may not hold true for all aquifer conditions.
  • Non-Darcian flow, characterized by deviations from Darcy's law, requires alternative analytical methods for accurate aquifer characterization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive a non-Darcian equivalent of the Darcian Theis solution for analyzing pumping tests in confined aquifers.
  • To introduce a method for determining aquifer parameters, including storativity, analogous hydraulic conductivity, and an empirical exponent, under non-Darcian flow conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Izbash's equation to extend the Darcian Theis solution for non-Darcian flow at later times.
  • Developed a method analogous to the Jacob straight line method for late-time pumping test analysis.

  • Applied the derived solution to a case study in Plomeur, Brittany, France.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully derived an equivalent of the Darcian Theis solution applicable to non-Darcian flow at later times.
    • Identified an additional parameter, the empirical exponent, essential for characterizing non-Darcian flow.
    • Demonstrated the method's practical application and efficiency in analyzing pumping tests with non-Darcian groundwater flow.

    Conclusions:

    • The derived solution offers a practical and efficient approach for analyzing pumping tests in confined aquifers exhibiting non-Darcian flow.
    • Accurate determination of aquifer parameters requires a minimum of two observation wells or two pumping tests at different rates due to the additional parameter.
    • The study provides a valuable tool for hydrogeologists dealing with complex groundwater flow systems.
