A modified optimization method for estimating transmissivity and storativity parameters has been utilized for the fast calibration of mathematical models of transient aquifers. The method provides ‘usable solutions’ at an intermediary point between the minimization of residuals in the water budget equations and the similitude of solutions to field estimations of parameters T and S . Four field examples of the use of the method are given and discussed in terms of relative accuracy of results.
