Groundwater modeling guidance resources
Various publications and guidance documents in the public domain that are referenced throughout our courses are provided here for free download. These include the United States Geological Survey (USGS) publications on MODFLOW, guides for fate and transport (F&T) 3D numeric models MT3DMS and RT3D.
Groundwater modeling software
Various installation files for analytical and numerical modeling are provided here for free download, including F&T models BIOSCREEN and BIOCHLOR, as well as an installation file for a fully functional Graphic User Interface (GUI) program Processing Modflow (PMWIN), a public domain version of which is used in our courses. PMWIN was developed by Dr. Eric Chiang of Simcore Software, including the latest professional version, PMWIN 11, which requires a license.
