Abstract
One of the big problems we encounter in groundwater modeling is to provide a correct model that can be
used to describe the movement of water via a particular geological formation. In this work, in order to
further enhance the model of groundwater
flow in a leaky aquifer, we made use of a new derivative called
the local variable order derivative. The derivative includes into mathematical formula the complexity of the
leaky aquifer, which is for instance the variation of the aquifer, or the heterogeneity of the leaky aquifer.
The modified equation was solved using the concept of iterative method. We presented in detail the stability
and the uniqueness of the special solution.
