How do you decide whether to perform interwell or intrawell tests at a facility?
The hydrogeology should always be considered at a site, and if the underlying aquifer is continuous, its possible that interwell tests may be utilized. If the hydrogeology suggests heterogeneity, intrawell tests will most likely be utilized once it is demonstrated that there are no prior releases. In either case, the ANOVA test may be applied to upgradient wells in order to determine statistically whether spatial differences exist. In the absence of variation among upgradient wells, interwell limits are preferred. Otherwise, intrawell methods are recommended.
