Well Flow Rate Testing

Objectives of the Test

Determination of the Actual Flow Rate
This measures the amount of water the well can extract per unit of time, ensuring it meets consumption needs.
Evaluation of System Stability
By monitoring the well’s performance during the test, any variations or potential anomalies are identified, confirming that the system remains stable over time.
Basis for Technical Decisions
The data collected serves as the foundation for sizing the pumping equipment.

The flow rate test is carried out in several phases, each done with technical precision:

Well Preparation
Before the test, the well is inspected and, if necessary, cleaned to ensure no obstructions affect the measurements.
Installation of Measurement Equipment
Calibrated devices are installed to measure flow rate, pressure, and water level variations during the testing period.
Conducting the Test
The procedure is executed in phases, starting with a stabilization phase for the well, followed by continuous measurement, and concluding with a recharge phase.
Recording and Analyzing Data
All measured parameters are recorded and analyzed by our technicians, enabling the identification of the well's performance and any need for further interventions.

Regular flow rate testing offers several advantages, including:

Performance Optimization
Ensuring the well operates at maximum efficiency.
Safety
Identifying potential failures or maintenance needs contributes to the safety and continuity of the supply.
Sustainable Management of Water Resources
Enabling the rational use of resources so that water extraction does not compromise long-term sustainability.
