Welcome to the documentation of stream_depletion

stream_depletion is a Python package that can be used to evaluate the stream depleting effects of pumping a well at a rate \(Q_w(t)\). The analytical solutions as provided by [3] only allow for the estimation of the stream depletion effect under a constant pumping rate for duration \(t\).

By combining i) the analytical solutions as described by [3], and ii) the ‘superposition’ principle, this package makes it possible to evalute the stream depletion effect as a result of a pumping regime that can be dynamic (variable pumping rates) over time.
