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
Exporting Results to Google Earth Model results can be exported from GMS to Google Earth for presentation
Arc Hydro Groundwater Data model and tools for managing groundwater data in ArcGIS
What is a GIS? • Geographic Information System • Spatial Data Management • Mapping • Database • Scripting and modeling

MODFLOW Analyst • Import MODFLOW simulations • Visualization • Post-processing • Build models
MODFLOW Analyst Tools • Developed as geoprocessing (GP) tools • Classes of tools • Import • Export • Visualization/Map Layers • Model editing • Building package input • Working with transient input/solutions
Import MODFLOW Model Tool INPUT OUTPUT
Make MODFLOW Features Tool + Or Node2D Cell2D INPUT OUTPUT
Geoprocessing Tools - Workflows • GP tools enable the development of workflows as models or scripts • Extendable – You can create your own workflows • Leverage low-level tools to create new tools
Demo in ArcGIS Automated well permitting for the virginiadeq
Summary • Model Status • Built but not calibrated • Completion target = January 2010 • Model features • Based on MODFLOW code • Numerous pre- and post-processing options available • Companion packages for particle tracking and transport • Local-scale models can be extracted from regional model • Automated workflows via Arc Hydro GW and ArcGIS • Solid foundation for ongoing water resource management in the region
