Abstract

The artificial recharge of ground water is an important solution to store the excess water and manage it by applying good methods. The finite difference method was used to solve the differential equations of the ground water flow and to find the water levels under the recharge basin. The mathematical model was applied on Banghazi's Valley and the water mound was studied under different hydrological conditions. It was clear that the recharge rate and basin area were considered two important factors to form water mound. Also, storage coefficient represented the quantity of storage ground water in the confined aquifers. The permeability of the aquifer confined the ability to use the aquifer for storing water.
