Computer simulation of the hydraulic impact of water well fields in Kuwait

Three-dimensional mesh resolution control in finite difference groundwater flow models through boxed spatial zooming

“…Columns 3 and 6 exhibit results of numerical simulation using a single mesh M1. Drawdown in the pumping well has been calculated through a numerical well flow simulator facility by the author (Székely and Al-Rashed, 1996;Székely, 1999;Székely et al, 2000). The low deviation (<1 cm) from the analytical data proves the high accuracy of the numerical well flow simulator.…”

Mathematical modelling of effects of Irawan irrigation project water abstractions on the Murzuq aquifer systems in Libya

“…It is also applicable to most types of groundwater modelling problems and accepted by many agencies both in the USA and internationally. Examples of MODFLOW application include assessing change to Amsterdam Water supply system caused by addition and removal of wells (Olsthoorn, 1999); groundwater simulation and scenario analysis in Jordan (Al-Kharabsheh, 2000); simulation of drawdown and field operation in discontinuous layers in Kuwait (Szekely et al, 2000); investigation of possible alternatives for effective groundwater management in eastern Saudi Arabia (Rasheeduddin et al, 2001); and the simulation of groundwater in multilayer aquifer system in southwest Egypt (Ebraheem, 2002). Boronina et al (2003) also used MODFLOW in south Cyprus (a semi-arid climate experiencing a scarcity of water resources as in Libya) for water balance and recharge rate estimation at the Kouris basin.…”
