چکیده

abstract the coupled modflow-hydrus software package was used to produce a saturated-unsaturated flow model for a flood spreading system (fss) and its associated aquifer. the study aim to improve simulations of near-surface hydrological processes, including temporal and spatial variation in groundwater recharge rates. the coupled model was built with average rmse=1.1 and 1.3 for calibration and validation periods, respectively. one of the features of the coupled model is separate recharge estimation from each unsaturated profile. considering the fss as a profile, annual recharge caused by the fss on average is 3.5 mcm of which 0.5 mcm is natural recharge and the rest of it is net artificial recharge. also, effects of sedimentation on recharge reduction was considered. results shown that due to small sedimentation area relative to total study area, less than 10 percent of recharge caused by fss was reduced as a result of sedimentation. finally, considering aquifer area and specific yield, recharge caused by fss makes ground water level rise by 30 cm annually.

Assessing controls on diffuse groundwater recharge using unsaturated flow modeling

[1] Understanding climate, vegetation, and soil controls on recharge is essential for estimating potential impacts of climate variability and land use/land cover change on recharge. Recharge controls were evaluated by simulating drainage in 5-m-thick profiles using a one-dimensional (1-D) unsaturated flow code (UNSAT-H), climate data, and vegetation and soil coverages from online sources. Soil ...

Numerical Model for Saturated-Unsaturated Flow in Deformable Porous Media

An integrated finite difference algorithm is presented for numerically solving the governing equation of saturated-unsaturated flow in deformable porous media. In recognition that stability of the explicit equation is a local phenomenon a mixed explicit-implicit procedure is used for marching in the time domain. In this scheme the explicit changes in potential are first computed for all element...

Approaches for Modelling Transient Unsaturated-saturated Groundwater Flow during and after Construction

Construction of underground research laboratories and geological disposal facilities has a significant transient impact on groundwater flow, leading to a drawdown in the water table and groundwater pressures, and groundwater inflow into shafts, access ways and tunnels accompanied by desaturation of the surrounding rock. Modelling the impact of underground facilities on groundwater flow is impor...

Mass Conserving Schemes for Saturated Groundwater Flow

Local mass conservation is of great importance for accurate simulation of fluid flows, especially if the resulting velocity field is to be coupled to a transport equation. Previous work on simulation of saturated groundwater flows have used both mixed finite element methods and discontinuous Galerkin methods to achieve local mass conservation. However, legacy code using a continuous Galerkin fi...
