Abstract

With the assumption of unidirectional groundwater flow, a theoretical derivation of empirically proposed Schoeller's model appeared in literature. However, it is clear that radial flow conditions which exist in circular sectorial watersheds, are much more representative of nature. Therefore, the validity of Schoeller's model for watersheds which can, approximately, be represented with a circular sector still needs to be investigated. Thus, the subject was analyzed in this study and it has been shown that, Schoeller's model is also valid for circular sectorial watersheds.
