3. Results and discussion
In this section several numerical examples are introduced to investigate the effects of leakage, bottom slope, and aquifer
parameters on the head fluctuations in both unconfined and confined aquifers. As mentioned above that the aquifer system in
Jeng et al.’s solution [10] can be considered as a special case of the present solution. The values of parameters and physical data
adopted from their paper for the examples are A = 0.65 m, x = 2p rad/day, h

/A denotes a normalized form. Furthermore, joint effects of
leakage, bottom angle, and aquifer parameters on the time lag are discussed in this section.
3.1. Joint effects of leakage and bottom angle
Fig. 2a shows the curves of normalized amplitude of groundwater fluctuation in the unconfined aquifer (i.e., H
N1
) versus
landward distance x for L = 0.2/day and L = 1/day with the bottom slope h = À15°, 0, and 15°. As indicated in the figure, the
curve predicted by the Jeng et al.’s solution [10] is identical to the one when h = 0°. The figure shows that H
N1
decreases with
both h and x for L = 0.2/day and 1/day. The figure also indicates that the intrusion distance is about 500 m when h = À15° and
smaller than 300 m when h > 0°. Fig. 2b shows the curves of H
N1
versus h at x = 50 m for L = 0, 0.05, 0.2, and 1/day. This
figure demonstrates that H
N1
decreases with increasing h for all L and, however, increases with L. Those results indicate that the
prediction of H
N1
will lead to large errors without considering the bottom angle. Fig. 2c illustrates the curves of time lag
versus Fig. 3. The curves of (a) H

versus X

h at x = 100 m. This figure shows X
1
increases with h, reaches to its maximum value, and then decreases with
increasing h. Specifically, the time lag reaches its peak value at h = 0° when L = 0/day and at h = À5° when L = 1/day. Fig. 2c
also shows that X
1
decreases with increasing L. Fig. 3a shows the curves of normalized amplitude of groundwater fluctuation in confined aquifer (H
N2
) versus x for L =
0.2/ day and 1/day and h = À15°, 0°, and 15°. The hollow circles stands for Jeng et al.’s solution [10] which exactly matches with
the curve of the present solution when h = 0° as shown in the figure, indicating that Jeng et al.’s solution [10] can be consid- ered
as a special case of the present solution. Furthermore, this figure shows that the H
N2
increases as h decreases when L = 1/
day, and the largest difference in H
N2
between h = À15° and 15° is 0.1428 occurring at x = 80 m. The curves for the case of L
= 0.2/day exhibit that H
N2
decreases as h increases when x < 100 m but increases with h when x > 100 m. Fig. 3b shows the
curves of H
N2
versus h at x = 50 m, indicating that H
N2
is independent of h when L < 0.2/day. However, H
N2
decreases with
increasing h when L = 1/day. Obviously, the effect of h on H
N2
should be taken into account in the tidal sloping aquifer system if
the aquitard leakage is large. Fig. 3c shows X
2
versus h at x = 100 m for L = 0, 0.05, 0.2, and 1/day. This figure shows that X
2
decreases as h increases when the leakage is not negligible, however, X
2
is independent of h for the case that L = 0. Also the
figure indicates that the effect of leakage on X
2
in confined aquifers decreases with increasing h.
3.2. Joint effects of aquifer parameters and bottom angle
In this section the joint effects of h and normalized aquifer parameters (i.e., T and S) on the groundwater fluctuation in a leaky
sloping aquifer system are investigated. When the leakage is large the effect of h on H
N2
is noticeable; therefore, the
leakage is assumed to be L = 1/day in the following analyses. Fig. 4a shows the curves of H
N1
versus T at x = 50 m and for h

increases value from À15° to 15°, and those of H
N2 with T for all values of h. They also show the effect of bottom angle on the
normalized groundwater amplitude in the uncon- fined and confined aquifers increases with T. These results indicate that the
joint effect of T and h on the normalized ground- water amplitude is very significant when T is large. Fig. 4c and d show the
curves of time lag versus T for unconfined and confined aquifers, respectively, at x = 100 m. The behavior of X
1
in response to the change in T in unconfined aquifers is
shown in Fig. 4c. The curves show that X
1
decreases with increasing T, and, its decreasing rate increases as h decreases. Since at
T = 0.5, X
1
increases as h decreases, therefore, the curve intersect each other. The curves of X
2
versus T are depicted in
Fig. 4d for different values of h, which are different from those in unconfined ones. The figure shows that X
2
decreases with
increasing T for h = 15°. However, for other values of h, the curves exhibit that X
2
has a peak value near T = 1 and then de-
creases when the value of T departs from one. In addition, the curve of h = À15° has the largest decreasing rate.
The curves of H
N1
versus S are shown in Fig. 5a and those of H
N2
versus S are in Fig. 5b at x = 50 m for h from À15° to 15°.
These two figures show a similar trend for both H
N1
decrease with increasing S and h. In addition,
the curves demonstrate that the effect of h on H
N1
and H
N2
, i.e. H
N1
and H
N2 decreases with increasing S. The difference between the values of H
N1
and H
N2 for h = À15° and 15° is 0.5040 when S = 50, and 0.3661 when S = 300.
On the other hand, the difference between the val- ues of H
N2
for h = À15° and 15° is 0.3430 when S = 50, and 0.1315 when S = 300. These results indicate that the effect of h on H
N1
is larger than that of H
N2
. Fig. 5c and d show the time lag versus S at x = 100 m in unconfined and confined aquifers,
respectively. Fig. 5c displays that time lag in the unconfined aquifer, X
1
, increases with S for all values of h. The curves for
the case that h P 0 show that X
1
decreases with increasing h for all values of S. On the other hand, for the case that h < 0,
the increasing rate of X
1
with respect to S increases as h decreases. The figure also shows the time lag for the cases of h =
6° and À6° as well as the cases of h = 15° and À15° are very close when S < 75. However, since the increasing rate

versus T are in Fig. 4b. These two figures exhibit that both H
N1
and H
N2

is larger for negative slopes than for the positive one, the differences of the time lag increase with S. Fig. 5d demonstrates that X
2
increases with S for all h’s. It is interesting to point out that X
2
decreases with increasing h when S P 150. However, X
2
increases with h for h from À15° to À6°, and decreases with increasing h when h > À6° and S 6 100 .
4. Concluding remarks
An analytical solution has been developed to investigate head fluctuation in a sloping coastal aquifer system, comprising an
unconfined aquifer, an aquitard, and a confined aquifer. The results predicted from this newly developed solution show that
bottom angle (h) has a significant effect on tide-induced groundwater fluctuation. The groundwater amplitude decreases with
increasing h for all leakage (L) values in the unconfined aquifer, and the effect of the bottom angle on the groundwater
fluctuation cannot be ignored if the leakage in the confined aquifer is large. The results also show that the time lag reaches the
peak value when h falls in the range between À5° and 0° in the unconfined aquifer, and decreases with increasing h in the
confined aquifer when L > 0. It is found that for all values of h normalized amplitude increases with normalized transmissiv- ity
(T) but decreases with increasing normalized storativity (S) in both unconfined and confined aquifers. The time lag de- creases
with increasing T in unconfined aquifer for a wide range of h. However, the time lag in confined aquifer decreases with
increasing T only for the case h = 15° and has a maximum value near T = 1 for other values of h. On the other hand, the time lag
increases with S for all h in the confined and unconfined aquifers.
