A generalized aquifer simulation program is designed and developed to handle problems connected with different kinds of complex ground‐water systems on microprocessors. The characteristic aspect of this program, involving the “Strongly Implicit Procedure” is that it requires only 10K bytes of memory for the generated code. Using this program, the effect of pumping on an aquifer can be studied for multiple pumping periods and predictions or observations can be scrutinized at various time steps within each pumping period. The program can also handle conversion problems between confined and water‐table aquifers under leaky or nonleaky states along with the effects of evapotranspiration, constant recharge or discharge boundaries. The utility and precision of the program have been tested using a sample problem quoted by Trescott et al. (1976).
