Two Confined Aquifers with Different Heads
Charbeneau, 2000.
Groundwater will tend to flow from the top aquifer to the bottom aquifer.
We can’t make any conclusion about horizontal head gradients from this picture.

Recharge
Natural• Precipitation• melting snow• Infiltration by
streams and lakes
Artificial• Recharge wells• Water spread over
land in pits, furrows, ditches
• Small dams in stream channels to detain and deflect water
