Modeling groundwater inflows to open pit and underground mines is key for the planning, engineering and execution of mining projects. Mine working interaction with the groundwater flow regime is a dynamic process that can be modeled with standar MODFLOW packages. This webinar covers an applied numerical simulation of underground mine inflows that covers the transient model construction, simulation and water balance analysis. Several common steps in groundwater modeling are covered as import vector and raster (elevation) spatial data, spatial and temporal discretization, set hydraulic parameters, define boundary condition, run simulations and export data.

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.
