Abstract
Single borehole dilution tests (SBDTs) are an inexpensive but effective technique for hydrogeological characterization of hard‐rock aquifers. We present a freely available, easy‐to‐use, open‐source Python package, DISOLV, for plotting, analyzing, and modelling SBDT data. DISOLV can significantly reduce the time spent interpreting field data by helping to identify flowing fractures intersecting the borehole and estimate the corresponding flow rates. DISOLV is successfully benchmarked against two analytical solutions. We also present an example application to real data collected in a borehole in a crystalline basement aquifer in southern India.
