Aquifer with linear boundary between the two zones
Assumptions:
✓aquifer is confined, isotropic, consisiting of two semi-infinite heterogeneous zones with a common straight boundary;
✓pumping well penetrates the main heterogeneity zone;
✓observation well penetrates the main or adjoining heterogeneous zone;
✓drawdown is estimated in two zones at any distance from the pumping well.
Arealy heterogeneous aquifer with two heterogeneous zones.
a – cross-section, b – plan view, observation well in the main zone; c – plan view, observation well in the adjoining zone.
1 – main heterogeneity zone; 2 – adjoining heterogeneity zone.
Pumping regimes:
One well pumped at a constant rate
Pumping
Recovery
One or several wells pumped at a variable rate
