The capture of groundwater by horizontal wells (HWs) is an old but often overlooked technique. Practically all modeling techniques available in groundwater hydrology have been applied to HWs. This work compares analytical models with field data and investigates the influence of nonuniform screen inflow. The usefulness of a vertical well approximation is studied. A new MATLAB application, HORI, is presented for common analytical models. Analytical methods are found to reproduce drawdown around two radial collector wells (RCWs). Beyond the direct vicinity of the caisson, in particular, drawdown around an RCW can be approximated with a vertical well model.

水平井（HW）捕获地下水是一种古老的技术，但经常被忽视。实际上，地下水水文学中可用的所有建模技术都已应用于硬件。这项工作将分析模型与现场数据进行了比较，并研究了不均匀筛网流入的影响。研究了垂直井近似的有用性。针对常见的分析模型，提出了一个新的MATLAB应用程序HORI。发现分析方法可重现两个径向收集井（RCW）周围的水位下降。特别是，除了沉箱附近，RCW附近的水位下降可以通过垂直井模型进行估算。
