Cutting-edge techniques for groundwater modeling using GIS
technology
Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information
Systems covers fundamental information on flow and mass
transport modeling and demonstrates how GIS technology makes these
models and analyses more accurate than ever before.
GIS technology allows for swift organization, quantification,
and interpretation of large quantities of geohydrological data with
computer accuracy and minimal risk of human error. This book’s
companion Web site provides the Princeton Transport Code, as well
as the plug-in extensions required to interface this code with the
Argus ONE numerical environment software enclosed with this book.
Plug-in extensions for MODFLOW and MT3D computer codes can be found
at the Argus ONE Web site (www.argusint.com). The process for using
the Geographic Modeling Approach (GMA) to model groundwater flow
and transport is demonstrated step by step with a field example
from Tucson, Arizona. The GMA is composed of the Argus ONE
Geographic Information Modeling system and the Princeton Transport
Code groundwater flow and transport model, interfaced through the
plug-in extension available on Argus ONE.
Enhanced with more than 150 illustrations and screen captures,
Groundwater Modeling Using Geographical Information
Systems is a fundamental book for civil engineers,
hydrologists, environmental engineers, geologists, and students in
these fields, as well as software engineers working on GIS
applications and environmental attorneys and regulators. When used
in combination with the free modeling software, this book provides
an excellent student text.
