This Code of Practice W 111 shall apply to pumpingtests during groundwater prospection anddevelopment and to well performancereviews.

pumping test or, to be more precise, well oraquifer test is performed between the constructionand casing and the commissioning of a well. Itdocuments the net output of the well that wasachieved during the development stage, and permitsdrawing extensive conclusions about the localhydrogeological and hydraulic conditions. ThisCode of Practice intends to explain how toproperly execute pumping tests to acquire and makeavailable the considerable amount of data in thecorrect form. The information provided by pumpingtests is crucially important for the futureoperation of a well as a repeat pumping test at alater point in time can help identify the well?sageing process and record it appropriately, thusfacilitating the timely initiation of regenerationor rehabilitation measures.
