Where <math>\phi</math> is the saturated thickness of the aquifer [<math>L</math>], <math>N</math> is the vertical influx to the aquifer (recharge/leakage) [<math>LT^{-1}</math>], and <math>h</math> [<math>L</math>] is the head  measured with the respect to a flat aquifer base.

Governing Equation (1D or 2D):
  
A common transformation (the Girinskii potential) can be used to simplified the governing equation, and make it equally valid for both confined flow (<math>\phi=H</math>) and unconfined flow (<math>\phi=h</math>):
+
<math>\nabla \cdot \left(kh \nabla h\right)=S_y\frac{\partial h}{\partial t}-N </math>

A common transformation to linearize the steady state form of the equation is to solve the problem in terms of the Girinskii Potential:
  
<math>
+
<math>\Phi=\frac{1}{2}k h^2</math>
\Phi=kHh-\frac{1}{2}kH^2
 
</math>
 
  
if <math>h>H</math>. This results in the Laplace/Poisson equation:
+
Leaving us with a revised governing equation (the Poisson equation):
  
 
<math>\nabla ^2\Phi=-N </math>
 
<math>\nabla ^2\Phi=-N </math>
  
The integrated discharge vector may be obtained from the gradient of the potential.
