Surface Water Interaction Modelling Using Visual MODFLOW and GIS

PHYLARESIntroduction / ch.1__________________________________________________________________________________________3Specific objectives of this thesis are:• Calibration and validation of the model• Development of a model to simulate groundwater flow in the study area and interpret theflow system using the developed model.1.3 Structure of the thesisThis thesis is organized into three major parts: literature review, methodology and discussion ofthe results and conclusion & recommendations. Chapter 1 is the introductory part which dealsmainly with the importance of the topic and the associated research questions. Chapters 2 and 3deal with literature review on past and existing knowledge about the topic of groundwatersurfacewater interaction and its importance in the study of hydrologic systems. Chapter 4focuses on the detailed description of the study area and available data for the modeling work.Chapter 5 – 8 discuss the modeling tools, procedure, calibration of the model and the resultsobtained. Conclusion and recommendation is presented in Chapter 9 on the ideas and issues forfurther work in the focus area.______________________________________________________________________________________Groundwater – Surface water interaction modeling using visual MODFLOW and GIS
