This Code of Practice W 111 shall apply to pumping tests during groundwater prospection and development and to well performance reviews.

pumping test or, to be more precise, well or aquifer test is performed between the construction and casing and the commissioning of a well. It documents the net output of the well that was achieved during the development stage, and permits drawing extensive conclusions about the local hydrogeological and hydraulic conditions. This Code of Practice intends to explain how to properly execute pumping tests to acquire and make available the considerable amount of data in the correct form. The information provided by pumping tests is crucially important for the future operation of a well as a repeat pumping test at a later point in time can help identify the well sageing process and record it appropriately, thusfacilitating the timely initiation of regeneration or rehabilitation measures.
