description Abstract In the present paper, approximate analytical solutions for flow in unconfined aquifers with streams are obtained assuming one-dimensional horizontal groundwater flow in homogeneous and isotropic aquifer with recharge effect using variational homotopy perturbation method which is a combination of variational iteration method and homotopy perturbation method. The governing nonlinear Boussinesq equation is obtained by using a basic principle of conservation of mass followed by Dupuit’s assumptions. Sensitivity of the parameters has been analyzed. The obtained approximate analytical solutions are numerically validated. The present analytical method is reliable and can be equally well applied to other nonlinear equations arising in the stream–aquifer interaction problems.
