An analytical solution of a two-dimensional linearized Boussinesqequation is presented to predict the water table fluctuations in anunconfined aquifer due to time-varying recharge and withdrawal frommultiple basins and wells, respectively. This solution is obtainedby using the finite Fourier...

Mathematical models play a key role in assessing the future behavior of a groundwater system in response to various schemes of ground water resources development such as artificial recharging and in selecting an appropriate one out of many proposed schemes for its sustainable development. This...

An analytical solution is developed to predict spatio-temporal variation of the water table in a 2-D aquifer system which is receiving transient recharge from an overlying basin of rectangular shape. The transient recharge function is approximated by a number of line segments. Application of the...

Recharging and pumping are the integral part of any scheme of ground water resources development and both processes significantly affect the dynamic behavior of the aquifer system. Leakage from the aquifer’s base, if present, is other process which affects the water table variation. Therefore,...

An analytical solution of the linearized Boussinesq equation is developed to predict the formation of a ground-water mound in an aquifer system in response to localized time-varying recharge. The recharge is applied from a centrally located circular basin. The solution is obtained using an...

Understanding the dynamic response of phreatic aquifers due to recharge is most important for the proper management of ground-water systems. In this paper an analytical solution is developed to describe the water-table fluctuation in a finite aquifer system due to transient recharge from two...
