Abstract
The chapter considers analytical solutions and analytical methods used in pumping tests in an unconfined aquifer with infinite lateral extent. The construction of groundwater flow equations for unconfined aquifers, semi-infinite or bounded in the horizontal plane, is briefly described in Sect. 2.2. Section 2.3 focuses on pumping tests in unconfined aquifers with sloped bottoms.
