Artificial recharge of groundwater can often take place in spreading basins or stream channels. For the recharge system shown in the figure below
- determine the steady state head distribution using MAGNET
- determine the maximum amount of water that can be stored
- determine how much of the water recharged into the system leaks into the river.
- Compare your simulated head distribution with the following analytical solution
Assume the aquifer is homogeneous and isotropic. The initial water level in the aquifer is h = d
