Title: Types of Boundary Conditions
1Types of Boundary Conditions
- Specified head (including constant head)
- h f (x,y,z,t)
- Specified flux (including no flow)
- ?h/?l -ql/Kl
- Head-dependent conditions
- q -Kb (hb h)/b

Q C (hB - h)
C Conductance K A/L K is the hydraulic
conductivity of the aquifer between the model and
the lake A is the area of the boundary cell,
perpendicular to flow.
