Package and parameters Information

[Hosney Jahan Sraboni]

Hello,

I am completely a new user of Modelmuse Modflow. Meanwhile, I have acquired some basic knowledge of groundwater modeling. I have some queries regarding my study. I hope you will be able to help me!

1. My objectives are to model the groundwater flow and predict the groundwater level for upcoming years. Which packages am I supposed to use?

2. I have groundwater level data, hydraulic conductivity, Transmissivity, specific yield, and precipitation data. Which parameters are further needed to fulfill my objectives that are mentioned above?

Thank you for sparing your valuable time.

Regards,

The boundary conditions are what drives groundwater flow. Recharge is one boundary condition. Some, but not all, of the precipitation will become recharge. You also need to identify where and how water leaves the system and how much leaves in different locations.

For any groundwater model  the basic packages would  be boundary  conditions, well, recharge rate, observation data, porosity (not sure whether  it's needed for Modelmuse but it's an input parameter for GMS Modflow), aquifer  depths, drain package, evapotranspiration  package, river package.

The use these packages would differ depending upon the characteristics  of the study area.

First of all you must devise a conceptual model and based on the features of the conceptual model you can discretize (number of layers, cells etc) select the packages (processes like recharge, Evt, pumping, river, drain and GHB etc). Always start with a simple model then later you can make more and more complex as per the requirement and modelling objectives.

Thank you everyone for your valuable suggestions. Looking forward to learning more from you all! Stay safe in this pandemic situation.
