Abstract: Understanding the dynamic response of phreatic aquifers due to recharge is most important for the proper management of ground-water systems. In this paper an analytical solution is developed to describe the water-table fluctuation in a finite aquifer system due to transient recharge from two parallel strip basins. Application of the solution in the prediction of spatiotemporal variation of the water table and in the sensitivity analysis of the effects of various controlling parameters on the water-table fluctuation is demonstrated with the help of an example problem.
