Webinar: Applied Contaminant Transport Modeling with MODFLOW, MT3D-USGS and Flopy, 19 Sep 2019

Making hydrogeological models can take a long time for all the steps involved as model construction, calibration and output visualization. It is important to use tools that can optimize these tasks and allow the time saved to be used in the analysis of the system.

Flopy is a versatile set of Python scripts which can be used to run MODFLOW and MT3D, among other MODFLOW-related groundwater programs in a simple and efficient way. It will be seen how useful this tool is to automate the process of creating groundwater models since modifications of the boundary conditions can be done just by changing some lines on the text script.

This webinar will develop a complete applied case of flow and transport modeling with MODFLOW, MT3D-USDS and Flopy. The study case describes a regional groundwater flow which has a point source with a remediation schema simulated on steady state conditions for flow conditions and transient for transport modeling.
