GCRC Project Summary |
An Efficient Computer Program for Modeling Seawater Intrusion in Coastal Aquifers
PI: Mark Bakker (formerly - Dept of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, Univ of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA)
Support: GA DNR Coastal Zone Management (through a Coastal Incentive Grant)
Timeframe: 2001 - ongoing
Project Overview:
A new computer program that can be used to model seawater intrusion in coastal
aquifers accurately and efficiently is being developed. The computer program
is based on a new theory that has been developed, tested, and published in the
past 5 years. It will be written as a separate package to an existing computer
program named MODFLOW. MODFLOW was developed by the USGS and is the
most-used computer program for groundwater modeling.
Accomplishments:
The MODFLOW 'SWI' package for Sea Water Intrusion is public domain and is
freely available to any interested party.
