  1. The Sacramento regional model Project Review and Final Report Norm Jones Michelle Smilowitz

  2. Company Background • Software development • Training • Consulting Arc Hydro www.aquaveo.com Groundwater

  3. Modeling Protocol Derrick Norm Michelle Norm Adapted from Anderson & Woessner, 1992

  4. Code Selection Criteria • Are the capabilities of the code consistent with the modeling objectives? • Is the code verified and well-established? • Can the code simulate each of the critical processes in the conceptual model at a sufficient level of accuracy? • Is the code easy to use and maintain?

  5. Parsimony “Everything should be made as simple as possible. But not simpler.” – Albert Einstein Groundwater models should be complex enough to be useful, yet simple enough to be cost-effective and manageable.

  7. Particle Tracking with MODPATH

  8. Contaminant Transport Modeling MT3DMS, RT3D, SEAM3D

  9. Surface Water/Ground WaterInteraction

  10. Surface Water/Ground Water • Flow budget output • Detailed summary of SW/GW exchange quantities • River package (RIV) • Stage specified • Streamflow-routing package (SFR) • Flow specified • Routing • Stage calculated

  11. Development and Maintenance Costs • Low development cost • 12 months • $267,000 • Cost savings due to • Mature suite of pre- and post-processing tools • Leveraging • GIS linkage and tools • Model portability – widespread expertise

  12. Groundwater Modeling System (GMS)

  13. Conceptual Model - Site Map
