3. Drawdown of the water level measured in feet for a non-flowing well after not less than four hours of continuous operation and while still in operation, or for a flowing well, the shut-in pressure measured in feet above the land surface or in pounds per square inch at the land surface.

4. Depth in feet from the land surface to the static groundwater level, measured immediately prior to the well-capacity test.
