When modelling the long‐term behaviour of an aquifer, a resistance‐capacitance model controlled by a mini digital computer can be used with advantage. A typical aquifer in eastern England, which is partly confined and partly unconfined is used as an example. The representation of recharge, river flow and pumpage is considered. A period of 100 years is modelled and typical results include the long‐term behaviour over a number of years and the short‐term response over a few days.
