Groundwater modeling of a pumping test over a confined aquifer with MODFLOW-6 and FloPy

We have done an applied groundwater model for a pumping test on a confined aquifer. The wellsite is located on the Clairborne aquifer (Georgia, USA) and has two observations on different layers besides the well itself. The aquifer test has two periods of pumping and recovery that last 3 days each one and the numerical model was constructed with MODFLOW-6 based on a Python script with the FloPy package. Comparison among observed and simulated wells were done with plots in Matplotlib.

Instructor / Instructor:

Saul Montoya M.Sc

Hydrogeologist - Numerical Modeler

Mr. Montoya is a Civil Engineer graduated from the Catholic University in Lima with postgraduate studies in Management and Engineering of Water Resources (WAREM Program) from Stuttgart University – Germany with mention in Groundwater Engineering and Hydroinformatics. Mr Montoya has a strong analytical capacity for the interpretation, conceptualization and modeling of the surface and underground water cycle and their interaction. He is in charge of numerical modeling for contaminant transport and remediation systems of contaminated sites. Inside his hydrological and hydrogeological investigations Mr. Montoya has developed an holistic comprehension of the water cycle, understanding and quantifying the main hydrological dynamic process of precipitation, runoff, evaporation and recharge to the groundwater system.
