Interactive MODFLOW simulation to study impact of pumping on streamflow

This resource contains web links and related publications. A simple numerical model of groundwater flow (using MODFLOW) is set up as a web application. Users can interact with the model through a web browser and can study how groundwater pumping affects streamflow and wetlands. Further information is at: Hu, Y., Valocchi, A.J., Lindgren, S.A., Ramos, E.A. and Byrd, R.A. (2015), Groundwater Modeling with MODFLOW as a Web Application. Groundwater, 53: 834-835. doi:10.1111/gwat.12372

The model can be used in high-school earth science curricula and by the general public. Teacher lesson plans are available through NAGT -National Association of Geoscience Teachers. See: https://nagt.org/nagt/teaching_resources/teachingmaterials/159251.html
