ModFlow and More 2006: 'Managing Ground-Water Systems'

International Ground Water Modeling Center

Sun, 21/05/2006 / Wed, 24/05/2006

The MODFLOW conference series has become a tradition for the presentation of cutting-edge practical application of ground water models in all aspects of hydrologic work. MODFLOW, the USGS modular three-dimensional finite-difference, ground-water flow model, has become an international standard for ground-water modeling. MODFLOW serves as a centerpiece for the recurring conference, but we anchor on MODFLOW only because of its widespread use and its status as a community model. The conference organizing committee needs and encourages participation by users of all types of models in all kinds of applications, including those for which MODFLOW is not suitable, so that the modeling capability of our profession will evolve. MODFLOW is a basis from which other models can be considered. The advantages and disadvantages of alternative codes can be reflected from MODFLOW with which nearly all modelers are familiar.
