2013 NGWA Summit — The National and International Conference on Groundwater

Lessons Learned from a Decade of Groundwater Availability Modeling in Texas

Monday, April 29, 2013: 5:20 p.m.-5:40 p.m.
Regency East 3 (Hyatt Regency San Antonio)
More than 25 computer models have been made in the past decade of major and minor aquifers in Texas as part of the statewide Groundwater Availability Modeling program. Reports with standard formats document model construction and calibration and address models’ limitations and potential improvements. Models’ authors will participate in this technical session to critically discuss the main technical challenges in model development and the improved understanding of the studied aquifers that grew from the modeling process.
