. A fully interactive microcomputer package consisting of two BASIC programs, OPTP and PTEST, is presented for determining the optimal well discharge. Program PTEST computes the coefficients and exponent of the nonlinear drawdown equation using three‐step data from a step‐drawdown pumping test. Program OPTP computes the optimal discharge using a single‐variable constrained nonlinear programming algorithm. The package, originally written for an IBM‐PC, can be adapted to any microcomputer with minor modifications.
