Operation

This function calculates the groundwater head of an aquifer system according to the Gauss-Seidel iteration and Crank-Nicolson method (Wang & Anderson). The flowCondition indicates whether cells are either inactive (0), active (1) or have a constant head (2). The tolerance specifies the maximum difference between the current elevation and the new elevation.
