Bounded (strip) aquifer
Assumptions:
✓aquifer is confined, isotropic with two lateral boundaries (strip aquifer);
✓boundaries are straight, parallel, of infinite length;
✓drawdown can be estimated at any distance from the pumping well.
Three types of boundary conditions are considered:
1) two recharge boundaries (Dirichlet);
2) two no-flow boundaries (Neumann);
3) combined (one recharge and one no-flow boundary).

a – two recharge boundaries; b – two no-flow boundaries; c – combined boundary conditions.
Schematic plan view of a strip aquifer showing distances from observation well to image wells.
