Bounded aquifers. Pumping tests sometimes have to be performed near the boundary of an aquifer. A boundary may be either a recharging boundary (e.g. a river or a canal) or a barrier boundary (e.g. an impermeable valley wall). When an aquifer boundary is located within the area influenced by a pumping test, the general assumption that the aquifer is of infinite areal extent is no longer valid.
