This paper presents a semi-analytical approach for the evaluation of the groundwater inflow and drawdown in tunneling. Using the image method and the superposition principle, the problem in a finite domain is transformed to a problem in an infinite domain. Using the convolution-deconvolution method, the problem of time-variant inflow is transformed to a problem of constant inflow. Several calculation formulas corresponding to some current hydrogeological configurations are developed and discussed in this paper. The comparison of the calculated inflow to the observed one shows that this approach can give quite reliable results, with relatively simple computation compared to the numerical methods.
