Automated Parameter Estimation


What is it?

This tool iteratively solves the Theis equation to estimate aquifer transmissivity and storage.


How to use it:

Observations

Input pumptest configuration and data. Ensure that time and value units reflect those for the data.

Estimate Parameters

Click "Run Analysis" to estimate aquifer transmissivity and storage based on up to 20,000 iterations. The solution is considered optimized when the change in both transmissivity and storage is less than 1%.
