This three-day online course alternates theory and hands-on exercises to cover the entire modeling process, including conceptual model development, numerical model construction, calibration, sensitivity analysis, and multi-scenario simulations. The course introduces the theory and practical development of three-dimensional groundwater flow and contaminant transport models using Visual MODFLOW Flex.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Verify the practical application of Visual MODFLOW Flex in three-dimensional groundwater flow and contaminant transport studies
• Develop three-dimensional numerical models with appropriate grids, parameterization, boundary conditions and local hydrogeological conceptualization
• Create rectangular numeric meshes, meshes with local refinement, and unstructured polygonal meshes
• Calibrate models to match observed field data, ie hydraulic loads, flows and concentrations
• Use MODPATH code to model 3D particle tracking for capture zone delineation
• Use the Zone Budget tool to assess the sub-regional water balance within the model domain, such as water surge in pits, pumping impacts on rivers, etc.
• Use MT3D code to model the natural attenuation of contaminants and simulate remediation scenarios.

In this course will be provided to all participants:

• Theoretical booklet with the material presented in the course
• Handout of practical exercises
• Installer of the most current version of the software
• Training license to use the software.

what will you get

• Exercise booklet of theoretical classes, in PDF;
• Participants will have access to a training license to use the software;
