ABSTRACT
The solutions in the preceding Paper 1 were based on the assumption of an infinite aquifer. This assumption, however, is not valid in the case where a well is located near an infinite boundary, which may be impermeable or have different permeability, and where the boundary is within the drawdown cone of the punping well. A solution is presented for drawdown in a pumping well that includes well skin losses and an infinite boundary. The solution is be based on the theory of mirror reflection of image wells.
