Sloping unconfined aquifers are commonly seen and well investigated in the literature. In this study, we propose a generalized integral transformation method to solve the linearized Boussinesq equation that governs the groundwater level in a sloping unconfined aquifer with an impermeable bottom. The groundwater level responses of this unconfined aquifer under temporally uniform recharge or nonuniform recharge events are discussed. After comparing with a numerical solution to the nonlinear Boussinesq equation, the proposed solution appears better than that proposed in a previous study. Besides, we found that the proposed solutions reached the convergence criterion much faster than the Laplace transform solution did. Moreover, the application of the proposed solution to temporally changing rainfall recharge is also proposed to improve on the previous quasi-steady state treatment of an unsteady recharge rate.

In this paper, we studied the solitary wave solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation utt −uxx−uyy−(u2)xx−uxxxx = 0 and the (3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation uxt −6ux 2 +6uuxx −uxxxx −uyy −uzz = 0. By using this method, an explicit numerical solution is calculated in the form of a convergent power series with easily computable components. To illustrate the application of this method numerical results are derived by using the calculated components of the homotopy perturbation series. The numerical solutions are compared with the known analytical solutions. Results derived from our method are shown graphically.
