Point source in a bounded aquifer
Assumptions:
üaquifer
is
confined, anisotropic on the vertical plane, bounded on the
vertical or horizontal plane;
üboundaries:
two lateral or profile straight, parallel boundaries of infinite
length;
üdrawdown
in
the aquifer can be calculated at any distance from the pumping
well.
Four kinds of
boundary conditions are considered: 1) two profile no-flow boundaries (Neumann); 2)
two lateral recharge
boundaries (Dirichlet); 3) two lateral no-flow boundaries (Neumann); 4)
two lateral boundaries
of different types (recharge and no-flow).

Schematic cross-section (a) and plan view (b, c, d) of lateral and
pfofile boundaries.
a – profile no-flow boundaries; b – lateral recharge boundaries; c
– lateral no-flow boundaries; d – lateral combined boundary
conditions.
