Modeling of managed aquifer recharge applications can provide an excellent support in the decision making process. Flow and transport models are often used to describe existing situations and to build and analyse different development scenarios. Our group applies state-of-the-art modeling tools for characterization of MAR-specific processes at various compartments and interfaces:
- Groundwater flow modeling, coupled with solute and reactive transport
Assessment of various MAR processes using groundwater flow models, often combined with solute and reactive transport models (MODFLOW, MT3DMS, MODPATH, SEAWAT). - Modeling of water and solute transport in variably saturated media
Planning, optimisation and assessment of MAR surface infiltration schemes using unsaturated soil zone models such as HYDRUS 2D/3D. - Modeling of clogging of laboratory and field-scale MAR schemes
Application of analytical and numerical clogging models for assessment of clogging processes in infiltration basins under laboratory and field scale conditions, including new contributions to existing numerical models.
