In order to understand the relationship between groundwater flow and slope stability, a study area over a hotspot in the US. Landslide Inventory was selected. The geology, groundwater wells, elevation, and climate conditions were reviewed to develop a hydrogeological conceptual model that will be the basis for a numerical model of the groundwater flow regime. This webinar deals with the review of available spatial data related to the groundwater flow regime on a hillslope area at Mukilteo city, Washington, US. Information from geology, meteorology, observation data and boundary conditions will be discussed in a QGIS session with regards to the construction of a groundwater numerical model in MODFLOW.
Intructor
Saul Montoya M.Sc
Hydrogeologist - Numerical Modeler
Mr. Montoya is a Civil Engineer graduated from the Catholic University in Lima with postgraduate studies in Management and Engineering of Water Resources (WAREM Program) from Stuttgart University – Germany with mention in Groundwater Engineering and Hydroinformatics. Mr Montoya has a strong analytical capacity for the interpretation, conceptualization and modeling of the surface and underground water cycle and their interaction. He is in charge of numerical modeling for contaminant transport and remediation systems of contaminated sites. Inside his hydrological and hydrogeological investigations Mr. Montoya has developed an holistic comprehension of the water cycle, understanding and quantifying the main hydrological dynamic process of precipitation, runoff, evaporation and recharge to the groundwater system.
