The general equation governing unconfined groundwater flow is a transient, three-dimensional partial differential equation with variable coefficients. As summarized in this chapter, for many problems the equation can be simplified such that the associated free space Green’s function is known. Then the Boundary Element Method (BEM) becomes a very efficient technique for solving for the location of the transient free surface.
