Abstract An analytical solution is developed to predict spatio-temporal variation of the water table in a 2-D aquifer system which is receiving transient recharge from an overlying basin of rectangular shape. The transient recharge function is approximated by a number of line segments. Application of the solution is demonstrated with the help of an example problem.
