Geospatial processing for a groundwater model in Model Muse in 14 minutes - Tutorial

Groundwater model creation requires a complete set of spatial data for the different hydraulic parameters, boundary conditions and other model items. Vector and raster data need to be preprocessed, converted, reprojected to fit the requirements of Model Muse. 

This tutorial covers an applied case of raster and vector data processing for a basin. The tutorial covers the steps to download and process the following data:

  • Water network

  • Basin extension

  • Background satellite image

  • Elevation Raster

The tutorial also includes the following steps of building a hydrogeological model:

  • Definition of grid and active zone

  • Surface elevation setup

  • Progressive layer thickness

  • Water network import 

And all these steps were accomplished in 14 minutes.
