Function to calculate the initial parameters of the Hantush-Jacob model

hantush_jacob_solution_initial(ptest)

Arguments

ptest

A pumping_test object

Value

A list with

  • a: Slope of the straight line fitted to the drawdown data using the Cooper-Jacob approach

  • t0: Intercept of the straight line fitted to the drawdown data using the Cooper-Jacob approach

  • lambda: Leakage factor defined as $$\lambda = \sqrt{\frac{b^{'}T}{k_{h}^{'}}} $$

where \(b^{'}\) and \(k_{h}^{'}\) are the thickness and the vertical hydraulic conductivity of the aquitard, and \(T\) is the transmissivity of the underlying aquifer.
