The U.S. Geological Survey develops numerical groundwater modeling software and applies that software at a variety of scales to address Mission-related water resources issues across the Nation. All software is in the public domain and conveniently available at no cost on the Internet. Most model applications also are in the public domain and available from the investigator. This presentation will discuss the groundwater flow and transport modeling software available from the U.S. Geological Survey, and demonstrate a new online resource for groundwater modeling applications completed by the U.S. Geological Survey across the Nation.
William L. Cunningham, Office of Groundwater, U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, VA
Bill Cunningham is the Chief of the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Groundwater. This office oversees the technical and policy aspects of USGS groundwater investigations and data collection activities across the nation.
