In many regions of the world, the groundwater resource base and the social, economic and environmental systems dependent on it, are under threat from over-abstraction and pollution. Groundwater management, beyond pure development of the resource, is in its incipient phase in many countries and traditionally, management is only weakly hinged on research. When it comes to solving the problems, and putting into place management schemes, the impediments are numerous. Besides the lack of basic knowledge and information of the groundwater resource, knowledge of possible management options is also inadequate.
This group aims to provide an interaction between groundwater researchers and managers to synthesize their knowledge, perceptions and ideas for improved groundwater management and research.

FEFLOW (Finite Element subsurface FLOW system) is a sophisticated
software package for the modeling of flow and transport processes in porous
media under saturated and unsaturated conditions. Integral components are
interactive graphics, a GIS interface, data regionalization and visualisation tools and powerful numeric techniques. These
components ensure an efficient working process building the finite element
mesh, assigning model properties and boundary conditions, running the
simulation, and visualizing the results.
This group aims to provide a forum for exchange of ideas and
experiences regarding use and application of FEFLOW software.

GMS (Groundwater Modeling System) is an advanced, powerful, and
comprehensive groundwater modeling package. GMS provides complete support for
the USGS MODFLOW 3D finite difference, MODPATH 3D particle tracking, MT3DMS 3D
multi-species contaminant transport, RT3D 3D bioremediation transport, SEAM3D
3D bioremediation transport, SEEP2D 2D finite element, and FEMWATER 3D finite
element groundwater models. Tools are provided for site characterization, model
conceptualization, mesh and grid generation, geostatistics,
telescopic model refinement, automated model calibration, and output
post-processing. The program allows common information to be shared among
different data types and groundwater models. GMS is completely graphical, and
can display a defined groundwater model in either plan view or 3D oblique view,
and can be rotated interactively. Tools are provided for site characterization,
model conceptualization, mesh and grid generation, geostatistics,
and output post-processing.
This group aims to provide a forum for exchange of ideas and
experiences regarding use and application of GMS software.

The SEAWAT program was developed to simulate three-dimensional,
variable- density, transient ground-water flow in porous media. The source code
for SEAWAT was developed by combining MODFLOW and MT3DMS into a single program
that solves the coupled flow and solute-transport equations. The SEAWAT code
follows a modular structure, and thus, new capabilities can be added with only
minor modifications to the main program. SEAWAT reads and writes standard
MODFLOW and MT3DMS data sets, although some extra input may be required for
some SEAWAT simulations. This means that many of the existing pre- and
post-processors can be used to create input data sets and analyze simulation
results. Users familiar with MODFLOW and MT3DMS should have little difficulty
applying SEAWAT to problems of variable-density ground-water flow. SEAWAT-2000
is the latest release of the SEAWAT computer program for simulation of
three-dimensional, variable-density, transient ground-water flow in porous
media. SEAWAT-2000 was designed by combining a modified version of MODFLOW-2000
and MT3DMS into a single computer program.
This group aims to provide a forum for exchange of ideas and
experiences regarding use and application of SEAWAT software.

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are used to display, manipulate
and analyse spatial (map) data. ArcGIS
(produced by ESRI) is an integrated collection of software products for
building a complete geographic information system (GIS). There are three ArcGIS desktop applications - ArcCatalog,
ArcMap, and ArcToolbox. ArcCatalog is the application for managing your spatial
data holdings, for managing your database designs, and for recording and
viewing metadata. ArcMap is used for all mapping and
editing tasks, as well as for map-based analysis. ArcToolbox
is used for data conversion and geoprocessing. Using
these three applications together, you can perform any GIS task, simple to
advanced, including mapping, data management, geographic analysis, data
editing, and geoprocessing. There are also
server-based ArcGIS products, as well as ArcGIS products for PDAs.
Extensions can be purchased separately to increase the functionality of ArcGIS.
GIS is a powerful tool for developing solutions for water resources
such as assessing water quality and managing water resources on a local or
regional scale. Hydrologists use GIS technology to integrate various data and
applications into one, manageable system. ArcGIS with
Arc Hydro gives you the flexibility to combine watershed datasets from one map
source with stream and river networks. The suite of tools
contained in Arc Hydro facilitate the creation, manipulation, and
display of hydro features and objects within the ArcGIS
environment. Use ArcGIS Spatial Analyst for
hydrologic analysis such as calculating flow across an elevation surface, which
provides the basis for creating stream networks and watersheds; calculating
flow path length; and assigning stream orders.
This group aims to provide a forum for exchange of ideas and
experiences regarding application of GIS in Hydrology and Water Resources; and
use of ArcGIS software (in general) and Arc Hydro (in
particular).
