  3. 2. Water Well Investigation in Nampula Province - Slug Tests in Weathered Crystalline Rock

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Sofia Hallerbäck; [2016]
    Keywords : Slug tests; Hydraulic conductivity; Weathered crystalline rock; Water Resources; Safe Drinking Water; Mozambique; Hand Pumped Water Wells; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In Nampula Province, Mozambique, locating productive wells is a problem due to the heterogeneity in local geology, which consists of mainly weathered crystalline rock. This study estimates hydraulic conductivity of 10 hand pumped water wells in rural areas of Nampula Province using slug tests, and is a follow up of Andersson and Björnström (2013) and of Enkel and Sjöstrand (2013).
