Packer test: Particularly not suitable for fractured rock formations, this method isolates a specific interval of the well using inflatable packers to measure the hydraulic conductivity within that section, providing targeted analysis.

Slug test: A simpler and cost-effective method where a known volume of water is introduced into a small borehole, and the resulting water level response over time is used to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the formation.

Aquifer pumping test: A costly and labour-intensive method that involves pumping water from a test well and monitoring nearby wells to determine hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, and storage coefficient of the aquifer.
