Description

A controlled injection and extraction test using conservative tracers to evaluate aquifer transport and reactive processes. Involves sequential injection of traced and untraced water, followed by a drift period under natural gradient conditions, then pumping to recover injected water.

Typical Equipment

  • direct-push drilling rig
  • high-volume peristaltic pumps
  • autosampler

Output Measurements

  • hydraulic conductivity
  • dispersivity
  • sorption parameters
  • reaction rates
