recommending abstraction rate for a borehole after test pumping

After completing all the tests for borehole test pumping i.e calibration test, step drawdown test, constant rate test,recovery test i got Transmissivity and storativity from the analysis graphs, last thing now is getting abstraction rate that will last for 10 yrs.

My inquiry is: How do u calculate the abstraction rate from T or S or from the available drawdown of the borehole and the rates that have been used. eg for this particular borehole, the following rates have been used;20, 30, 40, 50 and 60m3/hr in the Step drawdown test and constant rate Q of 45m3/hr . Available drawdown is 16.07m. Transmissivity is 29m2/day and storativity of 0.06378. The aquifer is leaky confined. This is a production borehole.

Thank you

recommending Recommended abstraction rate for a borehole after test pumping pumping?

After completing all the tests for borehole test pumping [1], [2] i.e calibration test, step drawdown test, constant rate test,recovery test i got Transmissivity and storativity from the analysis graphs, last thing now is getting abstraction rate that will last for 10 yrs.

My inquiry is: How do u you calculate the abstraction rate from T or S or from the available drawdown of the borehole and the rates that have been used. eg for this particular borehole, the following rates have been used;20, used; 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60m3/hr in the Step drawdown test and constant rate Q of 45m3/hr . 45m3/hr. Available drawdown is 16.07m. Transmissivity is 29m2/day and storativity of 0.06378. The aquifer is leaky confined. This is a production borehole.
