Key features of AQTESOLV


 

Pumping Test and Slug Test Solutions

Choose from aquifer test solutions for confined, unconfined, leaky and fractured aquifers with sophisticated options including

  • Multiple pumping and observation wells
  • Large-diameter wells with wellbore storage
  • Oscillatory slug tests
  • Constant-head tests
  • Partially penetrating wells
  • Variable pumping rates
  • Well losses, and well efficiency
  • Discrete fractures
  • Confined two-aquifer system
  • Interceptor trenches
  • Horizontal wells
  • And more!

The Standard and Professional versions of AQTESOLV for Windows allow you to choose the optimal set of aquifer test solutions for your needs.



Visual and Automatic Curve Matching
AQTESOLV pioneered the integration of visual and automatic curve matching with its first release in 1989. While other aquifer test software packages limit your potential with old-fashioned methods of type curve analysis analogous to working on a light table, AQTESOLV continues to break new ground with new and innovative tools for curve matching that maximize your productivity.


Data Set Wizards
Create data sets quickly and accurately using intuitive Pumping Test, Slug Test and Constant-Head Test Wizards that prompt you for information with helpful graphics and diagrams.

A Template Wizard saves time by letting you create new data sets from templates.
Data Set Wizards 

A Forward Solution Wizard helps you create a new data set for the purpose of aquifer test design (prediction) before you go into the field!

AQTESOLV also includes an easy-to-use wizard to import AQTESOLV for DOS data sets.
Pumping Test Wizard 


Import Wizard
Import data from data logger files in 3 easy steps. The Import Wizard virtually eliminates the need for external manipulation of transducer data and also provides user-friendly options for filtering and transforming the data. Use Import Wizard to import both time-displacement and pumping rate measurements.

AQTESOLV for Windows also lets you copy and paste data from other applications (e.g., spreadsheets and word processors) through the Windows clipboard!


Spreadsheets
AQTESOLV for Windows provides easy-to-use spreadsheets for entering observation and pumping rate data.
Spreadsheets 


Flexible Units
Specify units of measurements in English and metric systems. Enter units for pumping rates in gallons or liters. Choose units for transmissivity including gal/day/ft.


Multiple Observation Wells
Enter multiple observations from an aquifer test into a single data set. Analyze all of the observation wells simultaneously using distance-drawdown and composite plots and determine a single set of aquifer properties that unifies all of the observation data.
Multiple Observation Wells 


Distance-Drawdown and Composite Plot Analysis
Perform distance-drawdown and composite plot analyses for multiple observation wells.


Multiple Pumping Wells and Image Wells
Enter multiple pumping wells into a data set to include the effects of other pumping wells (extraction or injection) on your test. Use this feature also to simulate the effects of recharge and barrier boundaries using image wells.


Variable Pumping Rate and Recovery Analysis
All of the pumping tests solutions in AQTESOLV include variable-rate analysis. With this feature, you can use any of the type curve solutions in the program to simulate recovery as well as drawdown during a pumping test.
Variable Pumping Rate and Recovery Analysis 

AQTESOLV now includes the Agarwal method for analyzing data from a recovery test!


Step Drawdown Test Analysis
The Theis (1935) and Hantush-Jacob(1955) step-drawdown test solutions include linear or nonlinear well losses and allows you to compute well efficiency.
Step Drawdown 

All of the pumping test solutions in AQTESOLV include variable-rate analysis. With this feature, you can use any of the pumping test solutions in the program to simulate stepped variations in pumping (including recovery).


Derivative Analysis
Use derivative plots to examine the effects of wellbore storage, recharge and barrier boundaries, leakage, delayed gravity response and fracture flow.

Derivative analysis in AQTESOLV for Windows also includes a unique visual curve matching feature that lets you fine tune estimation of aquifer properties with derivatives.


Type Curve Families
Choose from three options for displaying type curve families with your solutions. Select custom or preset curve families! Superimpose the Theis solution on type curve families!
Type Curve Families 


Customizable Plots and Reports
Choose from 17 different plots and reports to summarize the results of your aquifer test analyses. Plot formats include time-displacement, composite, distance-drawdown, Agarwal, residual drawdown, discharge-time, and derivative plots; three diagnostic plots for statistical analysis; and four diagnostic flow plots (radial, linear, bilinear and spherical).

Customize styles, weights and colors of lines; typefaces, sizes and weights of fonts; and more!

Use the Style Gallery to select plot formats provided exclusively by AQTESOLV. Include your own company logo on the output!


Clipboard Support
Copy plots and reports from AQTESOLV for Windows and paste them in other Windows applications!

Copy data (e.g., time-displacement data) from other Windows applications such as spreadsheets and word processors and paste them into AQTESOLV for Windows!


WYSIWYG Print Preview
Preview AQTESOLV for Windows plots and reports before sending them to your printer.


Export Functions
Export plots, reports, data and type curves from AQTESOLV for Windows to files (e.g. Windows metafiles) for use by other applications.

Options also include sending printer output to a file for delayed printing.


Tabbed Dialogs
AQTESOLV for Windows uses tabbed dialogs (property sheets) to organize data entry in a logical and easy-to-understand format.


Dockable Toolbars
Manage your screen real estate within AQTESOLV for Windows using the dockable toolbar feature!


Web Integration
Take advantage of information found at the AQTESOLV for Windows web site using the web integration features.

Send AQTESOLV for Windows data sets as e-mail attachments using the Send Mail feature.


Help, Tutorials and Technical Support
AQTESOLV for Windows comes with a complete User's Guide in electronic format that you can view, search and print using your web browser. You also can access the User's Guide from AQTESOLV for Windows through Windows Help. Both versions of the User's Guide provide access to instructive, step-by-step tutorials for every solution contained in the program.

The 32-bit version of AQTESOLV for Windows includes a Tip of the Day feature and web integration to help you learn how to use the software.
