Leaky aquifer anisitropic on the vertical plane

Aquifer anisotropic on the vertical plane within leaky aquifer system

 

Assumptions:

aquifer system consists of aquifers interbedded with aquitards;

main aquifer is anisotropic on the vertical plane containing pumping well, where drawdown is estimated;

adjacent aquifer has a constant water level during the test period;

initial water levels in different aquifers can coincide or not;

pumping well is located in the main aquifer; its storage capacity is not considered;

crossflow in aquitards is vertical;

storage of the aquitards is neglected;

any aquifer and aquitard configuration for the conceptual scheme of leaky aquifer with constant level in the adjacent aquifer can be considered here.
