Groundwater: Modeling and Analysis

This lecture by the instructor covers the mathematical modeling of groundwater systems, including the concepts of continuity and momentum balance, isotropy, and aquifer properties. The lecture delves into the analysis of confined and unconfined aquifers, drawdown curves, and transient well hydraulics. Various equations and solutions are presented, such as Theis' equation for confined aquifers and methods for determining hydraulic conductivity and storage coefficient. Practical applications, like well pumping tests and the effects of recharge boundaries, are also discussed.
