Aquifer test analysis is an integral part of groundwater modelling, supplying critical hydraulic parameters to the model or other basic groundwater calculations. Aquiferwin32 is a sophisticated Windows program that supports the analysis of aquifer tests, slug tests, and step tests. Multiple observation wells can be analyzed individually or as a group. AquiferWin32 also evaluates test data using the derivative method and can be used to simulate aquifer tests. The Aquifer software combines powerful data management capabilities with everything you would expect in a Windows program. Aquifer has been chosen by the Environment Agency of England and Wales and has become the choice software for groundwater scientists and engineers requiring cost effective and versatile analysis tools. - Click here to download a demo version of the Aquifer software

AquiferWin32 comes in two different versions, Modelling and Professional. AquiferWin32 Professional supports the following: - Analysis of slug test data using any one of the 6 slug test solutions; these solutions range from the simple Hvorslev to the complex Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) Model supporting confined or unconfined conditions, partial penetration, well skin effects and the response of a monitoring well.
- Over a dozen pump test analyses including solutions for confined, leaky confined, unconfined and fracture rock aquifers with support for variable pumping rates, partial penetration, delayed yield and well bore storage.
- Derivative analysis, Step tests and a Pump Test Simulator.
AquiferWin32 Modelling extends many of the pump test solutions into a modelling environment supporting any number of pumping wells with variable pumping rates. Output includes contour maps of hydraulic head or drawdown, color floods, particle traces and graphs of drawdown versus time at any number of monitoring wells. Auto-calibration to any number of transient targets is also supported. - Winflow and Wintran - the Modelling version of AquiferWin32 also includes WinFlow, an analytic two-dimensional groundwater flow and contaminant transport model. Wintran, the transport model, is now part of Winflow. Winflow models are easy to set up, and provide quick solutions to simple groundwater problems such as impacts from proposed water supply wells, small-scale groundwater contamination issues, or the design of small pump & treat systems.
| What's New in Aquifer Version 3 | AquiferWin32 has been updated to include many features users requested. The application has been made more user-friendly and full-featured. Since we continually enhance our software, please let us know if there is a feature you would like added. As always, all interim releases are free and downloadable from the internet until Version 4.0 is available.
The major changes are summarised below: |
New Analyses in the Aquifer Software
| Kipp, 1985 – Type Curve Analysis of Inertial Effects in the Response of a Well to a Slug Test
Moench, 1985 - Transient Flow to a Large-Diameter Well in an Aquifer With Storative Semiconfining Layers
Moench, 1997 - Flow to a well of finite diameter in a homogeneous, anisotropic water table aquifer
WinTran - WinTran is designed to be an easy-to-use model for simulating the fate and transport of dissolved contaminants in fully saturated groundwater systems. | New Functionality in the Aquifer Software | Legend Wizard – Enables easy setup of legends and optionally automatically resizes legend, adds default parameters and maintains position in the lower right corner of the graph or map
On screen editing of items within legends
Line Calculations and Distance/Drawdown graphs
3D Perspective in Flow Model
Shapefile export of contours, particle traces, streamlines and wells
Shapefile maps now supported |

 Major Features - Data can be entered conveniently using the import wizard, or you can enter data manually, by cutting and pasting from spreadsheets or by importing text files.
- Data can be entered using any set of units and Aquifer provides the most flexible unit conversion calculator of any aquifer test program. You may define any set of units for any variable and change these units at any time!
- Aquifer allows you to analyse your data using either manual on-screen curve matching, by the click-and-drag feature, or via automated statistical matching techniques.
Unlike some other pumping test analysis software, Aquifer displays an unlimited number of type curves for multiple-type curve techniques (e.g. Neuman unconfined). You specify which type curves you want to view. This is also handy for creating custom type curve graphs for use in the field. These are some of the most important features in Aquiferwin32. Please take a look at our free demo and see that Aquiferw is the best software for analysing aquifer test data! Major Features include: - Simultaneous optimisation of multiple data sets
- Serves as archive for raw data with options for data conversions during analysis
- Full control of parameter and data units on a well by well basis
- Global unit changes
- Parameter-based unit conversion calculator
- Dockable toolbars with tool tips
- WYSIWYG Printing with Print Preview
- Context-sensitive Help
- Multiple Document Interface
- Tab Views including spreadsheet, type curve, and map views
- Data spreadsheet in split window
- Liberal use of Property Sheets (Tab Dialogues) to maximise ease of use
- Native Windows 9X, NT, ME, 2000, XP
- Customisable Views - Text and Parameter Annotations, Legends, Symbols, Lines and Frames
- Frames support display of Bitmaps and Metafiles
- Site Map and Wells Displayed in Plan View
- Customisable Headers/Footers supporting Bitmaps and Metafiles
- Exports to DXF and Metafile formats
- Generates multi-curve type curve plots
- Full control of graphs - size, titles, axes, colours, fonts, dash patterns, line thickness etc
