Question: Use Liebeman method ( also known as Gauss Siedel method ) with over relaxation to determine the flow in the aquifer shown in figure 1

Use Liebeman method (also known as Gauss Siedel method) with over relaxation to determine the flow in the aquifer shown in figure 1, with the following properties: hydraulic conductivity k=10m? day, groundwater recharge N=0mm? day, thickness of the aquifer D=50m.
The boundary conditions of the aquifer are
BOUNDARY 1: no-flow near the mountains;
BOUNDARY 2: linear from 100 m (near mountains) to 0 m (near sea);
BOUNDARY 3: constant seawater level of 0 m ;
BOUNDARY 4: no-flow.

Run the model for two possible solutions:
\table[[Solution I:,Solution II:],[Initial estimate head =50m,- Initial estimate head=50m],[Convergence-criterion=1m,- Convergence-criterion=0.01 m],[Number of iterations =13,- Number of iterations=74],[Head 1=29,17m,- Head 1=20,67m
Use Liebeman method ( also known as Gauss Siedel
