If an analysis is made of the hydraulic conductivity of a site using permeameter tests of core samples, slug tests of monitoring wells, and pumping tests of production wells, it is often observed that the hydraulic conductivity as measured by each method is different. Which method would be most likely to have the greatest hydraulic conductivity, and which the least. What are some possible reasons why this would be true?
