Summary

The performance of any well is a function of its design, its construction, its development and finally its supplying aquifer.

Initial well tests become the foundation for evaluating its performance as a hydraulic structure over the useful life of the well.

If future tests indicate a decline in specific capacity with little change in static level then the water well contractor should recognize the need for well servicing.

Proper well testing is an important avenue of service to the well user.

The technician assigned the responsibility of well testing serves a vital role in the ground water industry.
