Abstract
Large‐diameter dug wells are the main source of water supply in many areas of the world. They are particularly useful in shallow aquifers with a low transmissivity. Existing methods for determining the transmissivity of aquifers from pumping tests carried out in dug wells were found wanting. This paper describes two new methods that can be used to determine the transmissivity of the aquifer from dug well tests. Examples of the application of the methods are given.Keywords
