Ku / Kl = 1 / 50
Flow nets for seepage from one side of a channel through two different
anisotropic two-layer systems. (a) Ku / Kl = 1/50. (b) Ku / Kl = 50. Source:
Todd & Bear, 1961.

Boundary conditions
-2nd order ODE for h(r) , need two BCs at two rs, say r1 and r2
-Could be
-one Dirichlet BC and one Neuman, say at well radius, rw ,
if we know the pumping rate, Qw
-or two Dirichlet BCs, e.g., two observation wells.
h2 h1
We need to have a confining layer for our 1-D (radial) flow equation to
applyif the aquifer were unconfined, the water table would slope down to
the well, and we would have flow in two dimensions.
