Please fill in the boxes using consistent units (e.g., m, d, m/d, m3/d).

This form will produce results in a dimensionless format.

Schematic of stream-aquifer configuration shown at right.


     - address to which results will be sent


     - pumping well assumed to be located on right side of stream
     - X location is distance from right bank of stream, Y location is assumed to be zero


     - if more than one observation well, use advanced input form
     - X location is distance from right bank of stream, Y location is distance from pumping well
     - if X location same as pumping well, a small error is introduced into calculated drawdown
           (error is largest immediately after start of pumping and rapidly decreases)  


     - distances are from right bank of stream


     - to obtain results for fully penetrating stream, set k'= 0.0001b'


     - used for calculation of residual drawdown and stream depletion 
     - set to 0 if residual quantities are not desired


     - time after start of pumping at which first results are desired


     - time after start of pumping at which final results are desired
     - program will terminate after calculation of first time step past this value
