Recall Dupuit, Flow to fixed heads with recharge: Note: Recharge is a fixed flux and head/gradient will be calculated to accommodate that recharge - e.g. High recharge >> High heads h1 and h2 are fixed heads and flux will be calculated to accommodate those heads - e.g. a high h1 will shift the divide to the left of the problem domain and produce large influx that joins the reachrge and discharges to the right, if h2 is very low, that influx will be even higher w qx hx h1 h2 d L x=0
