Abstract
The article aims to respond a comment made on our paper about appropriate boundary condition for the original Dupuit-Boussinesq theory for two-dimensional steady groundwater flow in an unconfined sloping aquifer with uniform rainfall recharge. To respond to the comments arguing the existence of lateral groundwater flows and negative groundwater table, clarifications are made for our analysis focusing on two-dimensional groundwater flow without considering lateral effects by using the original and classical approximate theory. ©2019.
