Abstract
A three‐dimensional finite element solution was obtained for the simultaneous consideration of multiaquifers coupled through semiconfining layers, and the model was applied to a groundwater regime in Sutter Basin, California. The use of a disk/tape in data handling and computation has reduced the core storage and processor time and increased the capability of a given computer system to simulate basins larger than are presently possible with the use of only core storage. This economy is achieved by storing on a disk/tape all the intermediate results which are needed repeatedly. On the Burroughs B6700 each steady state solution of 123 three‐dimensional elements and 232 nodes is obtained with 20 kbit of memory and 1.49 min of processor time.
