Description:
The computer program CZAEM is designed for elementary capture zone analysis, and is based on the analytic element method. CZAEM is applicable to confined and/or unconfined low in shallow aquifers; the Dupuit-Forchheimer assumption is adopted. CZAEM supports the following analytic elements: uniform flow, uniform infiltration over a circular area, wells, and line-sinks. he line-sinks can be used to simulate streams and the boundaries of lakes and rivers. The program will generate and plot the envelopes of capture zones, the boundaries of capture zones corresponding to different times, dividing streamlines including stagnation points, streamlines, and piezometric contours. Tutorial is provided to introduce the user to CZAEM and consists of two parts, each with three examples. Part A is concerned with introducing the user to the primary capabilities of the program long with elementary modeling techniques. Part B is aimed at advanced modeling techniques and commands. It is explained at tile end of part B how to obtain hardcopy output from the program.
