Notes:
A digital simulation model for the steady-state radial flow towards partially penetrating wells in the alluvial plains is presented. As the deposits in these plains are heterogenous with several good water-bearing formations crisscrossed with silty layers, the deposits are treated as a single anisotropic aquifer with water-table conditions prevailing. The iterative alternate direction implicit technique is used for the solution of the steady-state flow. The digital simulation model is used to study the effects of anisotropy, screen setting, and screen length on the discharge per unit length of screen; and in evaluating the errors involved in determining lateral permeability from distance-drawdown data. The digital simulation model is applied to field pump-test data for purposes of identification of aquifer anisotropy and radius of influence of well, and in evaluation of errors in determining lateral permeability from distance-drawdown data.
