A shortcut for computing stream depletion by wells using analog or digital models

March 1, 1971

Theory indicates that the effect of a discharging well on a nearby stream is independent of the length of the reach. The theory was confirmed using a digital computer model of short and long reaches of a stream-aquifer system. Digital computations using short reaches of most stream-aquifer systems will give results comparable in accuracy to one of a long reach with considerably less effort and expense.
