MODFLOW is the USGS software using finite difference method to solve the groundwater flow equations. It is the most popular modelling software among hydrogeologists and environmental scientists. There have been free and commercial UIs developed for MODFLOW. FloPy is one of them, which is a package of python scripts to run MODFLOW-related groundwater programs.
In this webinar, we will briefly introduce the basics, components and procedures of groundwater modelling with MODFLOW. Processes and packages in MODFLOW-2005 will be explained. After that, a tutorial will be given on how to create a simple groundwater model in FloPy.
Objectives
We expect that the participants will be able to:
Improve their knowledge on groundwater model and MODFLOW.
Understand the components and procedures of MODFLOW
Understand the functions of MODFLOW packages.
Develop their own models by following or modifying the tutorial.
Present and interpret the model results.
Topics
The webinar will cover the following topics:
The basics of groundwater model
The components of MODFLOW
Procedures to create groundwater model in MODFLOW
Processes and common packages of MODFLOW – BAS, DIS, OC, BCF, RIV, DRN, GHB, RCH, WEL, PCG, NWT…
A modelling example (optional, depending on time)
How to create a simple groundwater model in FloPy
Plot of results – model view and cross sections.
Instructor
Haili Jia Ph.D.
Senior Hydrogeologist – Numerical Modeler
Council for Geoscience, South Africa
Dr Haili Jia graduated from University of the Western Cape in South Africa with PhD degree in Hydrogeology. She has over 10 years of experience in this field by practising both research and commercial groundwater projects.
Dr Haili Jia has strong interest and rich knowledge in groundwater evaluation, numerical modelling, GIS, data analysis and programming. She has excellent modelling skills in MODFLOW with various GUIs, such as PMWIN, GMS, ModelMuse, and Flopy. She can proficiently use ArcGIS and QGIS with scripting skills. She has also been using python programming to facilitate tasks.
Dr Haili Jia has been involved in long-term mine water management program in the Witwatersrand Gold Basin and she is in charge of the numerical modelling of the flooded basins with very complicated hydrogeological conditions.
