| Abstract: | Estimation of aquifer parameters is vital for the assessment of groundwater potential and groundwater flow regime. On an
oceanic island where fresh water lens is fragile and sensitive to various stresses, it is even more essential that in order
to assess the potential of fresh water lens and the effect of various stresses on the fresh groundwater regime the parameters
should be representative to the field hydrogeological set up. Pumping tests conducted on existing large diameter wells on
an oceanic island have been analyzed. A finite difference method has been used to take into account the well storage, partial
penetration and upconing effect into the aquifer. Forward modeling has been carried out to estimate aquifer parameters from
the pumping test data. Field examples are described.
