Abstract

Disclosed is a method for monitoring well or borehole performance, where the method includes: receiving data including a pumped flow Q from a flow meter in the well or borehole, the well or borehole including at least: receiving a water level from a water level sensor in the well or borehole; a pump and a water level sensor; a flow meter; the pump and water level sensor in connection to computer element; generating one or more values of specific capacity Q/s, at a pump event. The method includes selecting one or more specific capacity Q/s values which are comparable under a first rule, the first rule including values of static water level SWL which remain substantially invariable.
