To begin a rising-head permeability test in a monitoring well (MW), the water level is lowered in the pipe. If it is lowered down to the screen, the recovery graph may differ from the theoretical straight line, making it difficult to assess the mean field hydraulic conductivity. A numerical analysis (finite element method) of this type of test, considering the complete equations for saturated and unsaturated flow, is presented. The numerically obtained graphs are similar to those of real field tests. In an aquitard, when the filter pack is made of fine sand, which retains water by capillarity, the screen dewatering influence is hardly visible in the velocity graph and is undetected in the usual semilog graph. In an aquitard, when the filter pack cannot retain water by capillarity during dewatering, the semilog graph presents two straight-line portions. The velocity graph, a representation of the conservation equation, helps to distinguish the early time interval, when the groundwater fills the screen and ...
