Summary:Using a discrete kernel approach, a methodology has been described to analyse unsteady flow to a multi-aquifer well. The well taps two aquifers which are separated by an aquiclude. The contribution of an individual aquifer to well discharge has been estimated when the well is pumped at a constant rate. It is found that the contribution of an aquifer is governed by its hydraulic diffusivity value. In case both the aquifers have equal diffusivity, the aquifers' contributions are independent of time but proportional to the respective transmissivity value.
