ABSTRACT
This research is on physics of groundwater flow which consist of equations of confined and unconfined aquifers these are mathematical equation called steady state or Laplace’s equation and Boussinesq of equation respectively .As in many third world countries like Nigeria the need to study groundwater flow is very important , as water is very important for human survival and environment .But , it is also scarce in many developing countries as such to have enough knowledge of the ground water flow and what it takes to have sufficient water supply is very important for living things and the environment in general.
