Groundwater Flow Simulation

Groundwater flow simulation is a computer-based method used to model how underground water moves through soil and rock. It helps scientists and engineers understand the direction, speed, and amount of water flow beneath the Earth's surface. This information is essential for managing water resources, predicting the spread of contamination, and designing sustainable extraction methods. The simulation uses data on the properties of the underground materials, the location of water sources, and natural or human-made influences to create a virtual model that reflects real-world conditions. This allows for better decision-making regarding groundwater use and protection.
