Recovery data for nine slug-tests in Well USW G-4 are reduced to determine hydraulic conductivity and storativity, assuming a homogeneous, isotropic, porous medium exists at the well. The purposes are to deduce these parameters, corroborate US Geological Survey estimates of parameters where possible, estimate the sensitivity of the inferences, and establish roughly how well these data fit the porous-medium model. This study was conducted to support assessment of the behavior of the groundwater system at Yucca Mountain near the Nevada Test Site in southwest Nevada. 13 refs., 30 figs., 3 tabs.
