A narrow stretch of aquifer transports water to a stream as shown below. Based on the sketch below, a) Develop a set of generalized flow balance equations for use in a numerical model to determine the head values in the aquifer, and b) solve the numerical model assuming each aquifer cell has the characteristics provided in the table below. For the numerical model, divide the aquifer into 5 cells. Present the head values in each cell in a table and in a graph. Determine the sensitivity of the model results to K and b values. Do the model results match what you would expect?
