Abstract

Groundwater is one of the major sources of water in our country. Due to its over exploitation, fulfilling the demands for domestic, agricultural and industrial purpose, groundwater level is falling very rapidly day by day especially during summer season in arid and semi arid regions, leading to water scarcity problems. This necessitates the proper planning and management of groundwater resources. Recent advancement in computer-based modelling system provides solution to plan and manage groundwater resources in an efficient manner. MODFLOW is a groundwater modelling system which simulates and predicts the groundwater condition. This paper deals with an overview of model simulation of groundwater by application of MODFLOW.
