MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF GW
Components of the Model:
simulation
Methods/Views of GW Modeling:
1) Aquifer view point For analysis of flow into pumping wells; has
analytical solutions (Theis, Jacob); flow is horizontal in the aquifer and
vertical through confining beds; simulates 2-D horizontal flow in aquifers

ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM
An un-confined aquifer is a coarse
grained sand with a measured isotropic
hydraulic conductivity of 160 m/day
Specific yield as 0.06. Recharge to the
aquifer only occurs throughout the 4 month
wet season at a rate of 7.5 10-4 m/day
ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM ..
TASKS:
Assess the water levels in the aquifer under the following conditions:
1. steady-state, with the mean recharge rate = 2.510-4 m/day, no
pumping;
