Aquifer of infinite extent and thickness

Aquifer of infinite extent and thickness

 

Assumptions:

aquifer is confined, anisotropic on the vertical plane, of infinite extent and thickness;

drawdown can be estimated at any distance from the pumping well.

 

       

Point source in a confined aquifer of infinite extent and thickness: 3D view and cross section.

 

Fundamental equation:

 

Pumping regimes:

One well pumped at a constant rate

Recovery

Several wells pumped at a constant rate

Pumping

Recovery

One or several wells pumped at a variable rates
