Changes in water table induced by transient boundary condition and space-dependent recharge - A Green element approach

Abstract

4 October 1998 309 Introduction The problem of groundwater movement through an underlying porous medium is very important in several aspects of engineering. Groundwater movement plays a role in agricultural, environmental and industrial processes. In all these cases, the engineer is primarily concerned with the problem of quantifying or determining the net movement of water due to losses and various means of transport. Efficient management of aquifers requires an accurate estimation of sustainable yield at which groundwater can be exploited without stressing the porous medium.
