Review
'This is a fantastic addition to the analytical solutions and analytic element modeling canon with a modern approach to programming with Python. I hope readers will use it to learn and explore groundwater theory, and to up their game on making simple reality checks of complex systems to improve all groundwater modeling.'
'The authors do an excellent job of describing practically important calculations, like determining the critical flowrate at which a pumped well starts to induce flow from a nearby river.'
