O. Lehn Franke Gordon D. Bennett Thomas E. Reilly 1987 The principle of superposition, a powerful mathematical technique for analyzing certain types of complex problems in many areas of science and technology, has important applications in ground-water hydraulics and modeling of ground-water systems. The principle of superposition states that problem solutions can be added together to obtain composite solutions. This principle applies to linear systems governed by linear differential equations. This report introduces the principle of superposition as it applies to ground-water hydrology and provides background information, discussion, illustrative problems with solutions, and problems to be solved by the reader. application/pdf 10.3133/twri03B6 en U.S. G.P.O., The principle of superposition and its application in ground-water hydraulics reports
