Abstract
This study investigates the optimum use to which a number
of wells, sunk for water supply to the Ipaja Housing Estate in Lagos
State could be put. The study is in two parts. The first part involves
graphical analysis of the available pumping test data from sixteen wells
located within the estate to determine the hydraulic characteristics
of the underlying aquifer being tapped.
In the second part, the regional groundwater reservoir is
represented by a radial flow numerical model. The model was used to
verify the aquifer properties. A sensitivity analysis was carried out
to investigate the effect of varying model input parameters on model
suits.
A study of the model results show that a minimum drawdown value
optimum performance of the well field is attained when all 16
are put into operation in meetinq the estate's daily requirement
of 12000m3 of water.
