Assuming no restrictions
due to permeability
maximum water influx
associated with an
aquifer, We, can be
related to the volume of
the aquifer, its
compressibility and the
pressure drop over it

Simplest model.
Aquifer very large so that pressure remains constant and it
has high permeability, so no pressure gradient across
aquifer.
Hydraulic analogue:
