2. 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.

9. Grid-Based Numerical Model

10. Telescopic Grid Refinement
The regional model can be used as a foundation for deriving local-scale models for analyzing small-scale groundwater issues
This process can be automated using custom tools in GMS

11. Exporting Results to Google Earth
Model results can be exported from GMS to Google Earth for presentation
