Underground flow is different from surface flow, since it has to account for the slowdown and porousness of the medium. In general, horizontal underground flow is calculated using formulas described in Harbaugh 2005[1][2]. However, when an aquifer is present, the aquifer variant is applied.
Hydraulic Conductivity without Thickness
The flow between the two cells is calculated as:

Aquifer formula
When an aquifer is present, its hydraulic diffusivity is used to calculate the water flow.
Based on conditions being true, the calculated volume of water that is transported through the aquifer is calculated as:

V_t & = \text{hydraulic conductance} & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} </math>
