Type curves for selected problems of flow to wells in confined aquifers

Overview

The FORTRAN source code for the programs documented in Reed (1980) is available for download. The source code for all the programs is contained in one single text file ("Reed_typcurves_TWRI_3_B3.txt"). These programs are no longer supported by the USGS but are being made available because they may be of use to individuals who want to reuse them in the analysis of aquifer tests. The source code is distributed free of charge by the U.S. Geological Survey.
