Abstract:
Groundwater numerical modeling is essential for sustainable water management as it helps understand the behavior of groundwater resources and their interaction with surface water. These models can predict the impacts of water manipulation on the environment, aid in developing sustainable management scenarios, and help in understanding the impacts of climate change on groundwater resources. Generating numerical groundwater models require various input data and boundary conditions, including geological models, surface water input, and groundwater recharge. By combining different modeling approaches, a comprehensive understanding of groundwater resources can be developed to support sustainable groundwater management, decision-making, and water resource planning. This thesis is based on open-source tools to aid in the different stages of groundwater studies: geological 3D modeling, isotopic modeling, and soil water balance spatial-temporal modeling.
