The Sacramento regional model Project Review and Final Report Norm Jones Michelle Smilowitz
Company Background • Software development • Training • Consulting Arc Hydro www.aquaveo.com Groundwater
Modeling Protocol Derrick Norm Michelle Norm Adapted from Anderson & Woessner, 1992
Code Selection Criteria • Are the capabilities of the code consistent with the modeling objectives? • Is the code verified and well-established? • Can the code simulate each of the critical processes in the conceptual model at a sufficient level of accuracy? • Is the code easy to use and maintain?
Parsimony “Everything should be made as simple as possible. But not simpler.” – Albert Einstein Groundwater models should be complex enough to be useful, yet simple enough to be cost-effective and manageable.
