Subsurface simulations can be performed to simulate the lateral flow of saturated groundwater movement and interactions with surface water. The 2-D free surface equation (Pinder and Bredehoeft 1968) is solved using finite difference techniques (Trescott and Larson 1977; Downer 2002). Selecting this option requires the assignment of appropriate boundary conditions and parameters to define the groundwater media. Details of simulating saturated groundwater are discussed in Chapter 12.
