Thiem steady-state solution for confined aquifers in Aquifer App - Tutorial

Steady-state conditions occur when water levels stop changing within the cone of depression during a pumping test. When steady-state conditions occur, water is not being released from storage in the unit being pumped. Thiem (1906) developed equations that describe steady-state conditions during pumping confined and unconfined units. These are known as the Thiem equations.

Aquifer App, a web framework for application in hydrogeology developed by Hatarilabs now has a tool for the interpretation of the Hydraulic Transmissivity based on the Thiem solution. This is a perfect tool to parametrize homogeneous and confined aquifers on steady state flow conditions.
