Tools to Solve Groundwater Problems Physical and analog methods Some of the first methods used. Analytical methods What we have been discussing so far Difficult for irregular boundaries, different boundary conditions, heterogeneous and anisotropic properties, multiple phases, nonlinearities Numerical methods Transform PDEs governing flow of groundwater into a system of ODEs or algebraic equations for solution

Conceptual Model Descriptive representation of groundwater system incorporating interpretation of geological & hydrological conditions What processes are important to model? What are the boundaries? What parameter values are available? What parameter values must be collected?

Three-Dimensional Grids An aquifer system is divided into rectangular blocks by a grid. The grid is organized by rows (i), columns (j), and layers (k), and each block is called a "cell" Types of Layers Confined Unconfined Convertible j, columns i, rows k, layers Layers can be different materials
