During the 1971-73 investigation into the groundwater resources of the Mount Gambier area, 254 wells were sampled. Of these, 77 were pumped, allowing short-term (30 minutes) well tests to be performed. The results of the pump tests have been analysed, to give each well's specific capacity per metre of open hole (S.Cm), and a near-well transmissivity (T). A characteristic relationship of the form T = 9.38 SCm + 465, with a co-efficient of determination (T2) of 0.96, is indicated for the Gambier limestone aquifer.
