## Purpose
AnaFlow provides several analytical and semi-analytical solutions for the
groundwater-flow equation.
## Installation
You can install the latest version with the following command:
pip install anaflow
## Documentation for AnaFlow
You can find the documentation under [https://anaflow.readthedocs.io][doc_link].
### Example
In the following the well known Theis function is called an plotted for three
different time-steps.
```python
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from anaflow import theis
time = [10, 100, 1000]
rad = np.geomspace(0.1, 10)
head = theis(time=time, rad=rad, transmissivity=1e-4, storage=1e-4, rate=-1e-4)
for i, step in enumerate(time):
plt.plot(rad, head[i], label="Theis(t={})".format(step))
plt.legend()
plt.show()
```
