An Analytical Solution for the Stream-Aquifer Interaction Problem
Publication: Watershed Management and Operations Management 2000
Abstract
An analytical solution is obtained for the simplified transient stream-aquifer interaction problem using Fourier analysis and complex variables. The solutions obtained for small sinusoidal water level disturbances of different periods are used to identify a number of dimensionless parameter groups that influence the solution. The analytical solutions are compared to numerical solutions obtained using the MODFLOW model. The dimensionless parameter groups combining the canal, aquifer and sediment properties are used to understand how they affect the stream-aquifer interaction. The analytical solution is useful in verifying the accuracy of computer models simulating stream-aquifer interaction.
