River Cell 1 Cell 2 Cell 3 (a) Top view (b) Cross section Cell 4 Impervious boundary The width of the aquifer strip is 3.0 km; the length of each cell is 5 km. The recharge rates for the aquifer strip is 400 mm/yr, 300 mm/yr, 300 mm/yr, 200 mm/yr in Cells 1,2,3, and 4,respectively. The water level in the river is maintained at a constant elevation of 160 m above the horizontal impervious bottom.
