event_type TEST   aquifer test       determination of the hydraulic properties of an aquifer by stressing it and observing the hydraulic response    
event_type DRLT TEST   driller test     test conducted using drilling equipment available at time of construction to give indication of bore capacity    
event_type NFPT TEST   non-flow preliminary test     groundwater discharges from a non-flowing feature for short time at range of rates followed by recovery measurements    
event_type FPRT TEST   flow preliminary test     flowing artesian feature is allowed to flow freely for short time at range of rates followed by recovery measurement of pressure    
event_type NCDT TEST   non-flow constant drawdown test     measurements taken of the discharge rate from a non-flowing feature that is varied so that water level remains constant for duration of test    
event_type NCQT TEST   non-flow constant discharge test     drawdown measurements taken at time intervals with groundwater discharge held constant from a non-flowing feature    
event_type FCQT TEST   flow constant discharge test     pressure head and temperature readings taken while the control valve is progressively opened to maintain a constant discharge from a flowing artesian feature    
event_type DYNT TEST   dynamic test   step discharge measurement of the variation of head loss caused by different rates of discharge from a flowing artesian feature    
event_type OPST DYNT     opening step test   groundwater discharge from a flowing artesian feature increased in regular steps starting from a closed valve    
event_type CLST DYNT     closing step test   groundwater discharge from a flowing artesian feature decreased in regular steps starting from free flowing and finishing with the control valve closed    
event_type FRCT TEST   flow recession test     test of flowing artesian feature where discharge and back pressure are recorded at time intervals after control valve is fully opened    
event_type NRVT TEST   non-flow recovery test     measurement of water levels follow cessation or reduction of groundwater discharge from a non-flowing feature    
event_type STDT TEST   step drawdown     groundwater discharge from a non-flowing feature is altered in regular steps with discharge held constant during each step    
event_type STAT TEST   static test     test of flowing artesian feature performed by closing down flow after discharging at a constant rate and subsequently measuring pressure over time    
event_type RADT TEST   rapid displacement test   slug monitoring of the water level response in non-flowing features following a practically instantaneous change in head    
event_type INJT RADT     injection test   monitoring of the water level response in non-flowing features following a practically instantaneous increase in head due to rapid water injection    
event_type PNDT RADT     pneumatic displacement test   the non-flowing groundwater feature is sealed and the air column pressurised, an instantaneous change in head is caused by the sudden release of air pressure    
event_type CRCT TEST   constant recharge     monitoring of the water level response in non-flowing features from a constant influx of water    
event_type INSP   inspection       data collected in adhoc bore inspection/field survey    
event_type MON   monitoring       data collection as part of routine monitoring program    
event_type MANT   maintenance       measurements taken during maintenance or rehabilitation of groundwater feature    
event_type CONS   construction       measurements taken during construction eg water cuts    
event_type GEOP   geophysical log       geophysical logging survey    
event_type GEOL   geological log       geological logging    
event_type UNK   unknown       type of event is unknown
