The problem of predicting water level changes in an aquifer due to variable pumpage is approached by using the convolution integral. Equations for a nonleaky artesian aquifer and a leaky artesian aquifer with negligible storage in the confining layer are presented. Computational results compare favorably with type curves for hypothetical cases with constant pumping. A practical example using variable pumpage from several pumping centers shows the applicability of the technique and its value in interpreting water level variations.
