The formation of ground‐water mounds in response to recharge from ponds has been described earlier by equations that have been developed for infinite aquifers. In this paper, an equation for the formation of ground‐water mounds on recharge from a rectangular area to a finite aquifer was derived. The validity of the equation was tested by comparison with field data of recharge from square ponds. The solution derived here appears to describe the actual field response of water table to recharge better than the equation derived for infinite aquifers.
