About This Item
ASTM D6028/D6028M is the ASTM standard for an analytical procedure used to determine hydraulic properties of a confined aquifer while considering water storage in leaky confining beds through the modified Hantush method. It is relevant when consistent interpretation of aquifer behavior is needed for groundwater analysis and engineering decisions. By defining a recognized procedure, the standard helps support more reliable calculations, comparable results, and clearer technical communication in hydrogeologic work.
Purpose of ASTM D6028/D6028M
The purpose of ASTM D6028/D6028M is to provide a standardized analytical approach for evaluating hydraulic properties in a confined aquifer system influenced by leakage through confining beds. The standard focuses on the modified Hantush method, which is used to interpret how water moves and is stored in connected formations. This makes the document useful for professionals who need a consistent framework for data reduction, analysis, and comparison when working with confined aquifer test results.
Common use cases of ASTM D6028/D6028M
This standard is commonly used in groundwater investigations, aquifer testing, and hydrogeologic evaluations where a confined aquifer may be affected by leaky confining beds. It is especially relevant when analysts need to interpret test data using an accepted analytical procedure rather than an informal approach. ASTM D6028/D6028M may also be used in consulting, resource assessment, and technical review work where hydraulic property estimates must be documented and defensible.
Why ASTM D6028/D6028M matters
ASTM D6028/D6028M matters because it supports consistency in how hydraulic properties are determined and reported for complex aquifer systems. Using a recognized ASTM standard can help reduce uncertainty in analysis, improve comparability between projects, and strengthen technical confidence in groundwater assessments. For procurement, compliance, and quality control workflows, it gives stakeholders a clear reference for evaluating whether the analytical method used aligns with accepted practice.
