Short summary
Most previous solutions for groundwater flow due to localized recharge assumed either aquifer incompressibility or 2-D flow without vertical flow. This paper develops a 3-D flow model for hydraulic head change induced by the recharge with random transient rates in a compressible unconfined aquifer. The analytical solution of the model for the head is derived. The quantitative criteria for the validity of those two assumptions are presented by the developed solution.
