Which information is required to find out the aquifer capacity or aquifer storage?
Dear Deepak Patle , are you reffering to the specific storage as aquifer capacity? The specific storage is one of the physical proporties that charcterize the capacity of an acquifer to store a/o release groundwater. They are often determined using some combination of field tests (e.g., aquifer tests) and laboratory tests on aquifer material samples. Also these properties can be determined using remote sensing data derived from Interferometric synthetic-aperture radar.
The aquifer information or characteristics which are evaluated by most aquifer tests are:
- Hydraulic conductivity;
- Specific storage or storativity;
- Transmissivity.
Additional aquifer characteristics depending on the type of aquifer, include:
- Specific yield or drainable porosity;
- Leakage coefficient;
- The presence of aquifer boundaries.
Dear Nanco Dolman Sir,
I am not referring to the specific storage as aquifer capacity.
Actually, I want to calculate capacity (storage or volume) of an aquifer so that we can find how much groundwater may fill in it or extract from it.
