- Steady state and transient calibration
Applied Software
- GMS (MODFLOW)
- Arc Hydro Groundwater
- WMS (GSSHA)
- ArcGIS
Problem
Solution
Aquaveo developed a regional MODFLOW groundwater model of a portion of the North American Sub-basin aquifer on behalf of the City of Roseville. The MODFLOW model, developed with GMS, replaced an existing IGSM model of the area. The project also included the development of a geodatabase for the associated data in the Sacramento area for use in ASR design and long-term planning and management.
Benefits
Arc Hydro Groundwater tools as well as custom geo-processing tools were developed to organize and visualize the data in ArcGIS. A 2D overland flow model (GSSHA) was developed within WMS to develop recharge inputs for the MODFLOW model. The project was performed to the client's satisfaction.
