Abstract. Understanding the head distribution in aquifers is crucial for the evaluation of groundwater resources. This article develops an analytical model for describing flow induced by pumping in an L-shaped fluvial aquifer bounded by impermeable bedrocks and two nearly fully penetrating streams. A similar scenario for numerical studies was reported in Kihm et al. (2007).The water level of the streams is assumed to be linearly varying with distance. The aquifer is divided into two sub-regions and 10 the continuity conditions of hydraulic head and flux are imposed at the interface of the sub-regions. The steady-state solution describing the head distribution for the model without pumping is first developed by the method of separation of variables. Kihm et al. (2007). The SDR solution is employed to demonstrate its use as a design tool in determining well location for required amounts of SDR from nearby streams under a specific aquifer pumping rate. 20
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
