Efficient management of ground-water aquifers and geothermal reservoirs requires accurate estimates of the hydraulic properties of water-bearing formations. These are needed to predict water- level changes, aquifer storage capacity, and the rate of movement of chemical species or thermal energy. Analytical models, properly applied, can often be used to estimate the hydraulic and transport properties of complex aquifer systems. This project's objective is to obtain analytical solutions to specific problems of flow and transport in water- bearing formations that can be used for evaluating the hydraulic and transport properties of aquifers and geothermal reservoirs.
