Groundwater Modeling System What is GMS? Groundwater Modeling System Computer program for building groundwater models and managing groundwater data Development partially sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Waterways Experiment Station) Originally developed at BYU Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory. It may be worth mentioning, so you don't lose/turn off other modeling software users, that GMS does a lot, but there are other software packages, outside of GMS that can do similar things to what GMS does (probably would take several separate apps, though).  Use what you/your team are familiar with e.g., Surfer.
