Hydrogeological Study of the Yesilkoy Aquifer in Cyprus: Pump Test Analysis and Recharge Assessment

This study investigates the Yesilkoy Aquifer in Cyprus, highlighting the results of a comprehensive pump test conducted between 2002 and 2006. It explores geological aspects, including the calcarenite composition and hydraulic conductivity. The analysis covers key metrics such as rainfall, recharge, and water levels in local wells. The Theis method was employed to analyze drawdown data from well YK-109, revealing significant insights into aquifer behavior. The updated conceptual model identifies the aquifer as a leaky confined system, contributing to effective water resource management.
