Produktbeschreibung

Groundwater flow modelling is important to calculate
the quantity and quality of groundwater for better
protection and management. The modelled aquifer is
extensively used for irrigation, municipal, and
domestic water supplies and this study documents the
development and calibration of a numerical model to
simulate the groundwater flow. The model is also used
to show interaction between groundwater and surface
water. A three-dimensional groundwater flow model,
with one unconfined layer, was used to simulate
groundwater flow in the Lake Awassa Basin. A
sensitivity analysis to changes in model parameters
including horizontal hydraulic conductivity,
recharge, and pumpage was made. The study is
important to start with for developing a more
detailed transient model.
