Deformation-induced changes in hydraulic head during ground-water withdrawal Deformation-induced changes in hydraulic head during ground-water withdrawal
Ground-water withdrawal from a confined or semiconfined aquifer causes three-dimensional deformation in the pumped aquifer and in adjacent layers (overlying and underlying aquifers and aquitards). In response to the deformation, hydraulic head in the adjacent layers could rise or fall almost immediately after the start of pumping. This deformation-induced effect suggest that an adjacent...

Comment on "Horizontal aquifer movement in a theis-theim confined system" by Donald C. Helm Comment on "Horizontal aquifer movement in a theis-theim confined system" by Donald C. Helm
In a recent paper, Helm [1994] presents an analysis of horizontal aquifer movement induced by groundwater withdrawal from a confined aquifer in which fluid and grains are incompressible. The analysis considers the aquifer in isolation (ignoring overlying and underlying strata) and assumes that the aquifer deforms purely in the horizontal direction (with no vertical movement). Helm's...

Characterization of a high-transmissivity zone by well test analysis: Steady state case Characterization of a high-transmissivity zone by well test analysis: Steady state case
A method is developed to analyze steady horizontal flow to a well pumped from a confined aquifer composed of two homogeneous zones with contrasting transmissivities. Zone 1 is laterally unbounded and encloses zone 2, which is elliptical in shape and is several orders of magnitude more transmissive than zone 1. The solution for head is obtained by the boundary integral equation method...
