Simulation of Groundwater levels in River basin using MODFLOW

MODFLOW is a groundwater modelling program. It can be compiled according to the practical applications. Groundwater flow models are used to calculate the rate and direction of movement of groundwater through aquifers. The outputs from model simulation are the groundwater flow and hydraulic heads which are in equilibrium with the specified hydrogeological conditions (i.e. hydrologic boundaries, hydrogeological framework, initial and transient conditions, hydraulic properties and sources) demarcated for the modelled area. Groundwater models perform an important role in the management and development of groundwater resources. This paper presents the results of a mathematical groundwater model developed for the Banda districts which is part of Yamuna River basin. For this purpose, groundwater modelling software (GMS) MODFLOW was used. The model results display that the computed values are in goodfitness of the measure data, which indicate the model is reliable.
