Hydrodynamics of the groundwater flow regime in hard rock regions, and its quantification, are not yet fully understood. This is mainly a result of several uncertainties involved in quantifying the hydrogeological parameters. Numerical techniques are potential tools in interpreting hydrogeological parameters in hard rock regions. Such a study was carried out in the Palar River Basin, Tamilnadu (India), where pumping tests carried out on large diameter wells were interpreted using a numerical technique.
