ABSTRACT: The relevance of studying the storage coefficient variable brings with it
the updating of this value in the hydraulic characteristics as part of the
hydrogeological parameters applied to each country, where recommended values for
the storage coefficient to be used in hydrogeological studies are presented. And
the application of a methodology adapted to the conditions of each country, is done under current conditions
resulting in reference values. For this research work, an adequate methodology
was sought for calculating the storage coefficient with a natural logarithm
(LN) arrangement. To achieve this, first, the variables that affect the
storage coefficient were identified, then the model was described with the
natural logarithm (LN) arrangement, and as a third point the storage
coefficient was calculated. In conclusion, in points 1 and 2 it was possible to
calculate the storage coefficient from the Natural Logarithm arrangement model,
with a correlation equal to R2 = 0.99, and R2 = 0.97
respectively, indicating that this method can be applied as long as there is
free aquifer conditions and that manipulation of data alteration is not
frequent.
