Critical review of the groundwater modeling process in GIS environment: implementation of mathematical models in ground sustainable management

Abstract

The objective of this dissertation is a critical review of all the required stages for the development of a sound groundwater mathematical model. Towards this objective a groundwater model is developed and implemented for the management of the Pieria aquifer, Greece. The stages of the modeling process which are analyzed in this dissertation are the following: - development of the conceptual model, - construction of the numerical model, which includes the definition of the space and time discretization, the initial and boundary conditions, the recharge and discharge of the system, the representation of hydrogeologic features of the system, the spatial structure of the aquifer’s hydrogeologic parameters, the selection of the method for the solution of the groundwater flow equation and the convergence criteria for this method, - calibration of the model, - evaluation of the model, - sensitivity analysis, - validation of the calibrated model and – application of the model to predict the sy ...
