“…Model calibration is expected to be much smoother. [27] found that with any time step size the error in the solution decreases with time and with minimum number of t/10 time steps the response of the aquifers at time t can be calculated with reasonable accuracy.…”

“…Later on Hennart et al (1981) [13] extended it to inhomogeneous multi-aquifer system using eigen function approaches. Using discrete kernel approach, Mishra et al (1985) [27] analyzed the two-aquifer system. Analytical solutions developed for multi-aquifers in general catered more to evoke the aquifer diffusivity ratios (Sokol, 1963;Wikramaratna, 1984;Hemker, 1984;Hunt,1985) [34], [38], [14], [17].…”

Abstract-Usually aquifer parameters are estimated through pumping/recharge test. Precondition for using those parameters in the numerical model is to ensure the synonymy of the hydro-geological condition between the field setup and the conceptual model. In many cases, it is erroneous. While numerical modelling in multi-aquifer considered vertical flow in general, it was reflected in the pumping solutions only to the extent of treating a leakage through the aquitard. As such well characterisation in multi aquifers separated by an aquiclude is illusive in the literature. As a result of which, interconnected aquifers were considered as isolated ones in the pumping/recharge tests. Therefore, estimated parameters were for a single aquifer, not for an aquifer connected to multi aquifers. In the present paper, the solution for a multi-aquifer system comprising of two interconnected aquifers separated by an aquiclude is presented. Vertical flow in the well bore with well loss due to friction has been considered. It is concluded that multi-aquifer parameters computed using present solution technique are more scientific and economical.
