EXERCISE: EXPLORING APPLICATION OF THE SOLUTION TO A SYSTEM FOR WHICH IT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY INTENDED
Suppose we took the base case model and placed impermeable material (a very low permeability unit) from the center of the land mass to infinity on the right side of the model.





How could you represent this? THINK SYMMETRY ....

Can you calculate all of the variations we explored before? If so what result do you obtain? If not, why not?

To jog your memory, we strove to calculate:

d
hmax
q to the river and
q to the canal

for:
1. K = 1x10-4 m/day
2. K = 1x10+0 m/day
3. ET = 0.85 m/yr
4. W = 0 m/yr

For your convenience, I include the relevant expressions from the discussion:








Anticipate, evaluate and check your results as you proceed.
