Stagnation and Pseudo‐Stagnation Lines for Separating 3D Groundwater Flow Systems in Tóthian Basins by Zhi‐Yuan Zhang, Xiao‐Wei Jiang, Peng‐Yu Zhou, Okke Batelaan, Xu‐Sheng Wang, Peng‐Fei Han, Li Wan

“…In this study, we first derive a transient solution for 3D Tóthian basin flow under spatially undulating and periodically changing water table and examine the occurrence of stagnation points or pseudo‐stagnation points, which constitute stagnation lines or pseudo‐stagnation lines in the 3D domain. Then, we propose a method of delineating 3D groundwater flow systems using stagnation or pseudo‐stagnation lines for the first time, and successfully apply it to 3D synthetic basins with either steady‐state or transient groundwater flow.  …”
