Abstract
A two-dimensional mathematical model has been developed using Galerkin finite element method for simulation of transient saturated-unsaturated groundwater flow in multi-aquifer system with window based, menu-driven, user friendly interface to provide on screen input data interpretation, to guide user through steps of data processing, and to generate reports and graphs from output results. The model is able to handle combined and system-dependent boundary conditions that can be used in practical situation of groundwater flow in the complex hydrogeological conditions of a country like Bangladesh in general and particularly for Dhaka City. Due to less complexity in two-dimensional simulation and the availability of Graphical User Interface (GUI) the model is easier to use and time efficient.
