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. determine the maximum amount of water that can be stored
  3. determine how much of the water recharged into the system leaks into the river.
  4. 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
