Method of processing data to test for underground water inflow in layered strata using simulation and analytical solutions

This article is concerned with processing of data in testing for groundwater inflow at the Imeretinsky lowland, the area where construction of the Olympic infrastructure for Sochi-2014 is planned. Under the complex hydrogeological conditions of this territory caused by the layered (anisotropic) structure of the stratum and a free-flow filtration regime, interpretation of pumping tests from imperfect wells gives rise to some difficulties related to the ambiguousness of identification of an analytical model. For interpretation, an entire spectrum of methods, including hydrodynamic modeling and analytical calculation, were used.
