Abstract

Pump tests were carried out on Kasai river bed in connection with augmentation of existing water supply of Kharagpur Municipality in the district of Midnapore West Bengal to cater the need of a population of more than two lacs of the municipal township and for the growing demand of the industries. The draw down data collected during pump tests were analysed to determine the aquifer characteristics, namely, the storage coefficient (S) transmissibility co-efficient (T). Methods adopted were Jacob’s and modified Theis for un-confined condition and Hantush inflection point method for semi-confined condition. The values of S and T as obtained from the analysis of data are to be used subsequently for the design of radial collector wells in the area.
