Various Pumping Tests and Methods for Evaluation of Hydraulic Properties in Fractured Hard Rock Aquifers - Groundwater Dynamics in Hard Rock Aquifers - page 110

single horizontal fracture intersecting the pumping well (Gringarten and
Witherspoon, 1972), double porosity behaviour (Warren and Root, 1963) or
connectivity and fractional dimension flow (Barker, 1988). These methods
are successfully applied to case studies in Archean granites and allow to
characterise the complexity of flows through fractures. These techniques
should be widely used by scientists and engineers for fractured aquifer
characterisation (structure, anisotropy, heterogeneity) and evaluation
(permeability, storage, water supply).
