Abstract
The Analytic Element Method (AEM) for groundwater flow modelling and also
its application possibilities were presented in an earlier volume, [2,3].
The present paper focuses on one
certain element of it, the so-called inhomogeneity. The inhomogeneity
describes the local variation of aquifer parameters, like its thickness,
base elevation or permeability. After a short introduction of the method,
the mathematical description and application conditions for the different
approaches of inhomogeneities are given in details. Finally, some
recommendations are given to help in the decision which approach to use
