Artificial recharge of groundwater can often take place in spreading basins or stream channels. For the recharge system shown in the Figure below:

1 - determine the steady state head distribution using MAGNET 

2 - Compare your simulated head distribution with the following analytical solution

3 - determine the maximum amount of water that can be stored

4 - determine how much of the water recharged into the system leaks into the river.

Assume the aquifer is homogeneous and isotropic. The initial water level in the aquifer is h=d
