A new generalized three-dimensional analytical solution is developed for a partially-penetrating vertical rectangular parallelepiped well screen in a confined aquifer by solving the three-dimensional transient ground water flow differential equation in x-y-z Cartesian coordinates system for drawdown by taking into account the three principal hydraulic conductivities (K _x‚ K _y‚ and K _z) along the x-y-z coordinate directions. The fully penetrating screen case becomes equivalent to the single vertical
