Abstract A non‐linear distribution of vertical displacement versus aquifer depth is calculated in the case of a partially penertrating well. For a fully penetrating well, however, a linear distribution is observed. The solution exhibits a vertically uniform horizontal displacement in the case of a fully penetrating well and, for a partially penetrating well, the maximum horizontal displacement occurs at the elevation of the well bottom.
