Abstract

Let us consider one-dimensional steady-state underground flow in an unconfined aquifer on a horizontal base with constant recharge N to a fully penetrating trench at X 0 = 0 (Fig. 6.1). The aquifer is piecewise homogeneous. Its hydraulic conductivity changes at locations X 1, X 2, and X 3, taking within the intervals [X 0, X 1], (X 1, X 2], (X 2, X 3], and (X 3, X 4] the values K 1, K 2, K 3, and K 4. Recharge N = 0.0001 m/day, and X 1 = 25, X 2 = 50, X 3 = 75, and X 4 = 100 m.
