Title: Effects of Barometric Fluctuations on Well Water-Level Measurements and Aquifer Test Data

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/15001258· OSTI ID:15001258

This report examines the effects of barometric fluctuations on well water-level measurements and evaluates adjustment and removal methods for determining areal aquifer head conditions and aquifer test analysis. Two examples of Hanford Site unconfined aquifer tests are examined that demonstrate baro-metric response analysis and illustrate the predictive/removal capabilities of various methods for well water-level and aquifer total head values. Good predictive/removal characteristics were demonstrated with best corrective results provided by multiple-regression deconvolution methods.
