Model Code Name:
GISGroundwater
Description:
BGS GISGroudnwater is an add-in to ArcGIS that models the depth to groundwater beneath the land surface. The tool is based on a mathematical model that simulates groundwater flow but is easy to use. The user provides information about a region using a series of GIS raster layers and shapefiles, which form input to the model. For example, amongst other things, the user defines properties of an aquifer such as how permeable the rock is, where rivers and pumping wells are located, and the amount of rainfall seeping downwards to the water table from the land surface. On running the model, the tool adds a raster layer to the GIS project, which plots the elevation of the groundwater level surface
