Total length of installed casings = 72m, Type: PVC
3.2 Installation of Observation Pipe

Observation pipe of ¾ inches diameter and length of 0m is installed between the
production casing and the well wall. It will be serving for water level monitoring.
3.3 Gravel Packing

After installation of casing, the annular space between the installed casing and the well
wall is packed with 8 m 3 washed and rounded river gravels of Ø=6-9mm. The Gravel

packing was applied manually using shovels to prevent bridging and particle
separation.
3.4 Well Cleaning and Development

Well cleaning and development, for duration of 8 Hrs., is executed by using a higher
capacity compressed air i.e. by means of air lift method to clean and improve the
performance of the well in general.
3.5 Grouting & Well head Construction

According to the agreement, after well development and cleaning, 1m top part of the
well is grouted by appropriate sand, cement and crushed gravel-mixing ratio that
required for mass concrete. The wellhead is also constructed as per the standard design
in agreement. (Yes/No) Yes.
3.6 Well Capping

After finalizing the pumping test and removal of the pump unit, the well has been
capped with a steel plate of 6mm thickness that welded on the top of the steel
production casing to prevent illegal access to the well. Yes
4 Pumping & Recovery Tests.
4.1 Mobilization &Demobilization

Mobilization of the crane & its equipment with accessories and assigned crew took
place on 23/07/2015E.C. The Pumping test activity commenced on 29/07/2015 E.C and
completed on 30/07/2015 E.C. The demobilization from the site is on 02/08/2015 E.C.

4.2 Principle
If we pump water from a well & measure the discharge of the well and the resulting
drawdown in the well, we can substitute these measurements in to an appropriate well
flow equation and can calculate the hydraulic characteristic of the aquifer.
The pumped water is disposed 12m away from the well mouth so as not to circulate
back to the well and to keep the surrounding area clean. During the pumping period, the
change in water level against time was recorded using pumping test data sheet.
4.3 Objective
 To know the aquifer performance, potential and sustainable discharge of the well.
 To estimate the well efficiency or the variation of well performance with the discharge
rate
 To measure the aquifer parameter (Hydraulic conductivity (k), Transmissivity(T), Safe
yield(sy), and Storativity(S) if possible)
 To select the appropriate pump type and position
 To obtain information about the groundwater quality of the well

4.5 Equipment’s Supplied

Instrument used during the tests included: -
- Water level indicator

- For discharge measurement, 90º V-notch & Bucket,
- Appropriate switch board,
- Riser and discharge pipes (G.S.P), Size=4” (ø); length =6m

- Observation pipes (G.S.P), Size (ø) =3/4 inch; length=6m,

- Crane for mantling or dismantling of pump and pipes,
- Ruler to measure water level in the V-Notch
- Pump position= 67m.
4.6 Pumping Tests

Pumping tests are commonly conducted: to estimate the well efficiency or the variation
of well performance with the discharge rate; to determine the hydraulic characteristics
of the aquifer such as hydraulic conductivity permeability (K), Transmissivity (T), safe
yield (Sy) and storage coefficient storativity (S) i.e. to know the aquifer performance in
general. Its principle is measuring the discharge of the well and the resulting drawdown
in the well through observation pipes at a specific time, and calculating the hydraulic
characteristics of the well. This is executed by using the measurements into appropriate
well flow equations.
4.7 Provisional Test

The preliminary test was conducted for 1 (one) hour with full pipe discharge. During
this time the water level has dropped from 0 m to 18.05m and a drawdown of 18.05m
was recorded. Recovery observation was no done; the data of drawdown is annexed as a
part of report.
4.8 Constant Discharge Test.

The constant discharge rate test was carried out on 29/07/2015 with a constant discharge
of 5 l/sec. and was completed on 30/07/2015 after 24 hours of constant pumping
without interruption. At the beginning of constant discharge test, the measured water
level was 0 m and the maximum draw down (TDD) measured for the range of the
pumping time is 20.00m and the dynamic water level after 24 hrs of constant pumping
at Q=5 1/s is 20m from the measuring point, top of the permanent casing The
transmissivity of the aquifer as calculated (measured) with Jacob’s method is, T=
2.47E+5 m2/d.

4.9 Recovery Test

Recovery test is an obligatory and finalizing part of every aquifer pumping test as it
cross checks the accuracy of the constant test analysis. It is the mirror image of the
constant test. It was also measured just after the pump shut-off and within 1hrs
duration, the well recovered 100% of the total drawdown (TDD). This test was analyzed
with Theis’s recovery under confined aquifer and the transmissivity of the aquifer is
(see the annex)

5 Analysis of Pumping & Recovery Tests
The necessary field data have been annexed as part of this report. Graphical
presentation of constant discharge test and recovery tests are shown in fig.3 and
fig.4 using quietest software respectively. Thus, analysis of the data will follow
accordingly.
5.1 Hydraulic Parameters (T, K & S)

The results of analyses of the constant discharge rate & recovery tests have been
presented in table 6 below.
Table 6: Analysis result of constant discharge test.
i. Constant discharge test Method

1 Transmissivity (T) (m2/day) 2.47E -1
2 Hydraulic Conductivity (K) (m/sec) 4.94E -3
ii Recovery Test
1 Transmissivity (T) (m2/day) 1.1E+0
2 Hydraulic Conductivity (K) (m/sec) 2.2E-2
a) Specific Capacity (Sc)

Sc= Q/Sw, where Q = pumping rate =5 l/sec
Sw = total draw down in the well = 20 m
Sc= Q (l/sec)/Sw(m) =5/20= 0.25 l/sec/m
Thus, 15 l/min can be pumped per one meter of drawdown (water level fall) from the
well
b) Safe yield (Sy)

This will be calculated considering factors, which affect the available water column,
such as seasonal water fluctuation, Pump and screen efficiency, well development
inaccuracies and aquifer productivity through time.

23
Seasonal water fluctuation will have positive effect on the available water column. The
screens are considered to be fully slotted and are not in a position to clog the free
entrance of water. The pump is assumed to be 100% efficient for simplicity in this case
at 67m.
Well development inaccuracies and aquifer productivity through time are included in
the safety factor, which is considered to be 70%.
Sy= Sc x ha x Safety factor (70%), where Sc= Specific Capacity
ha= available head, which in this case considered as the aquifer length of the well (the
length from the static water level to the possible pump position –that is the current depth
established during pumping test = 67m, in this case the permanent pump is assumed to
be at 87m from the ground or measuring level). The main objective here is to protect
water level fall or over pumping below this aquifer’s upper boundary, i.e. not to
jeopardize the geological setting of the area over longer period. Therefore, ha = 67m
(available head).
Sy=0.25 l/s/m x 67m x 0.7 = 11.7 l/s which is above the pumping rate considered during
the conducted pumping test. Thus, the well can yield min. 5 l/s which the constant test
was conducted with.
c) Maximum Yield
The maximum yield of a well can be estimated from a specific capacity using available
water column. ha= available head, which in this case considered as the total available
water column.
Thus, available water column= 77.98m (The pump position considered to be 6m from
the bottom of the well)
Accordingly, Max. Yield = Specific capacity x available water column

=0.25 l/sec/m *67m
= 16.75 l/sec
Hence, these results can minimize risk of jeopardizing both the hydro-geological and
geological setting of the area and prevent over pumping of the aquifers.

6 Water Sampling & Quality Analysis
6.1 Water Sampling

Towards the end of the constant rate-pumping test, required amount i.e.2 liters of water
sample was taken for a laboratory (Physic-chemical) analysis as specified in the BOQ
and was sent to Oromia Water Works Design and Supervision Enterprise for the physic-
chemical analysis.
6.2 Well Capping

After finalizing the work, the well has been capped with a steel plate of 6mm thickness
that welded on the top of the steel production casing to prevent illegal access to the
well.
