Definition of the problemConsider a circular tunnel of radius r in a fully saturated,homogeneousjsotropic.and semi-infinite porous aquifer with a horizontal water table (Fig. 1

Note that El Tani (2003) used the water level as the elevation reference datum,whereas Kolymbas and Wagner (2007) used the ground surface.In order to solve Eq.
