The Well / Aquifer Model (Initial Test Results)   -   21


6.2.1   Data Groups

Raw data from the initial 25 tests on the Santa Barbara and Silverado aquifers are shown in Appendix II. A summary of this information is shown in Figure 16. Because of variations in test parameters, distinct groupings of tests were selected for the regression and correlation analyses. Seven separate groupings of the individual tests were selected and are shown below:

Data Groups Used in the Regression and Correlation Analysis

Data Group Explanation Data Records*
1 All tests on the Santa Barbara formation 1-7
2 All tests on the Silverado formation 8-25
3 Silverado formation (all tests with 1800 of the screen open to flow) 8-17, 19, 25
4 Silverado formation (all tests except data records 10, 11, 16) 8,9, 12-15,
17-25
5 Silverado formation (all tests with 600 of the screen open to flow) 18, 21-25
6 All tests on both the Santa Barbara and Silverado formations 1-25
7 All tests on both the Santa Barbara and Silverado formations except data records 10, 11, 16 1-9, 12-15,
17-25
* See summery sheet (Figure 16) for identification of data records.


The data groups were chosen based on distinct test conditions such as similar aquifer types and screen open area. Due to an unusual combination of gravel and screen type, 3 of the 25 tests showed unstable results, (data records 10, 11, and 16). In these tests, since full development was not complete, resulting data are not representative of the true hydraulic characteristics of the particular test.
