SIMULATION OF GROUNDWATER LEVELS IN RIVER BASIN USINGMODFLOWSaad Moeeni, Naved Ahsan and Mohammad SharifAbstract MODFLOW is a groundwater modelling program. It can be compiled according to thepractical applications.Groundwater flow models are used to calculate the rate and direction ofmovement of groundwater through aquifers. The outputs from model simulation are the groundwater flow and hydraulic heads which are in equilibrium with the specifiedhydrogeological conditions (i.e. hydrologic boundaries, hydrogeological framework, initial and transient conditions, hydraulic properties and sources) demarcated for the modelled area. Groundwater models perform an important role in the management and development of groundwater resources.This paper presents the results of a mathematical groundwater modeldeveloped for the Banda districts which is part of Yamuna River basin. For this purpose,groundwater modelling software (GMS) MODFLOW was used. The model results display thatthe computed values are in goodfitness of the measure data, which indicate the model isreliable. |
