Pump tests are conducted for two main purposes: 1) To test the hydraulic parameters of an aquifer. This may relate to a dewatering plan for future construction or aquifer parameters for a future tailings pond or dam site. 2) To test the performance characteristics of a water well. This will determine the yield of the well and provide information to properly size the pump.
