  This pre-course self-assessment is optional. It's purpose is for you to assess yourself with the basics of aquifer pumping tests. Some of these topics are not part of this particular course, but are a baseline for aquifer testing. Your answers are not shared with other participants.

When you are satisfied with your answers, click-on the 'Submit My Self-Assessment' button.

Let's Get Started!
 
1.
What are you most interested in learning about aquifer testing?
  (choose one)
 
Design
 
Performance
 
Analysis
 
All of it, in general
 
2.
Aquifer pumping tests can determine which hydraulic properties?
  (check all that apply)
  Transmissivity
  Hydraulic Conductivity, Horizontal
  Hydraulic Conductivity, Vertical
  Storativity
  Well Yield
  Aquifer Sustainability
  Anisotropy
  Geologic Heterogeneity
  Specific storage
  Recharge Boundaries
  No-flow Boundaries
 
3.
The size of the region influenced by a pumping test primarily depends on which one of the following factors?
  (check all that apply)
  Pumping Rate
  Location of Observation Wells
  Duration of Test
  Diameter of the Gravel Pack of Pumping Well
 
4.
What criteria should be used to laterally locate an observation well?
  (choose one)
 
Not too close, Not too far
 
Landscape Position
 
Average Grain-Size of Aquifer
 
Heterogeneity of Aquifer
 
Aquifer Geometry and Thickness
 
5.
What criteria should be used to vertically locate an observation well?
  (choose one)
 
Project Objectives
 
Stratigraphy
 
Both A and B
 
6.
If a pumping test is to be performed to assess the impact of a lateral aquifer boundary, which one of the following is not recommended?
  (choose one)
 
Conduct the test at the highest possible pumping rate
 
Continue water-level monitoring through the recovery period
 
Locate an observation well between the pumping well and the suspected boundary
 
Schedule the test so that the effect of nearby pumping wells is minimized
 
7.
What are some reasons for pre-test water level monitoring?
  (choose one)
 
Understand Background Water Levels
 
Identify Interferences
 
Test Equipment
 
All of the Above
 
8.
Is a vented or non-vented transducer more appropriate for a long-term aquifer pumping test?
  (choose one)
 
Vented
 
Non-vented
 
It Depends on the Test
 
9.
Although the Theis analysis assumes a homogeneous aquifer, it can be applied to a heterogeneous one as long as long as it appreciated that the transmissivity is the bulk-average of the tested formation are made.
  (choose one)
 
True
 
False
 
10.
The curve shown in this image is the result of which of the following analysis methods?
  (choose one)
 
Theis Analysis
 
Cooper-Jacobs Analysis
