    Annotation Steady, 2-,3-D Darcian flows generated by a dipole (a pair of horizontal or vertical injection-abstraction wells closely-placed one above another), with circulation of fresh water inside an interface confined lens or “bubble” underneath an impermeable caprock, surrounded by a static saline groundwater, are analytically studied. For 2-D dipole, the complex potential domain is a plane with a horizontal cut. This domain is conformally mapped onto a reference half-plane where the Keldysh-Sedov formula is used to obtain the complex physical coordinates. Explicit closed-form expressions for the vase-shaped interface, flow net, isohypses, magnitudes of the Darcian velocity and Riesenkmapf's resultant force are obtained, depending on the dipole moment, its position with respect to the caprock, and the ratio of densities of the two fluids. It is shown that for sufficiently small injection-pumping rates the fresh water “vase” separates from the caprock and becomes a circle.
