Continent-scale groundwater models

Constraining flow pathways across eastern Australia Ben Mather , Dietmar Müller, Adam Beall , Craig O’Neill, Willem Vervoort, Louis Moresi Whole-of-basin groundwater model No guessing side boundary conditions Integrates regional geological complexity Simulate groundwater flow field Simulate residence times Very good at estimating flow in deep aquifers Local geological structures that impact groundwater flow may not be resolved Some misfit to hydrological data is expected Cannot reliably resolve shallow alluvial sediments and short timescales We are geodynamicists working on large-scale groundwater flow.
