Please answer following questions !

1. What is the difference among six equations above ?

2. Why each of equations differ to each other ?
3. In what situation (geologically) each equation may occur or what GW flow can
be best modeled using each equation ?

Note:

 S : coefficient of storage (parameter of flow media governing GW flow)

 T : transmissivity (parameter of flow media governing GW flow)
 ne : effective porosity (parameter of flow media governing GW flow)
 K : hydraulic conductivity (parameter of flow media governing GW flow)
