# Borehole Forensics 4 - Pumping Test 2018 - 2024
This dataset contains borehole forensic pumping test data, capturing key
parameters related to groundwater extraction, borehole performance, and
water quality assessments. It includes information on the test
conditions, water levels, pumping rates, flow measurement methods, and
water quality indicators such as pH, turbidity, and electrical
conductivity.
The dataset also documents permissions granted for testing, equipment
used, and observations on borehole performance, such as whether the
water level stabilized during pumping and whether the borehole passed
the test.
Potential Uses of the Dataset
1. Hydrogeological Analysis: Evaluating groundwater availability and
borehole efficiency.
2. Environmental Studies: Assessing water quality parameters.
3. Infrastructure Planning: Supporting water resource management and
borehole maintenance decisions.
4. Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring boreholes meet required operational
standards.
The data was collected by BASEFlow with funding from the Open Research
Data Program of the ETH
Board.
## Installation
You can install the development version of boreholeforensicspumpingtest
from GitHub with:
``` r
