Water Resources Seminar Series - Simulating Water Flow and Solute Transport in Coupled Groundwater-Surface Water Systems using SWAT-MODFLOW
Speaker: Dr. Ryan Bailey
Description: This presentation will provide an overview of the development and applications of a new hydrologic model that couples the Soil Water and Assessment Tool (SWAT) with the groundwater flow model MODFLOW. The SWAT-MODFLOW model accounts for land surface hydrology, in-stream hydrologic and bio-chemical processes, multi-dimensional groundwater flow and solute reactive transport, and groundwater-surface water interaction and solute mass exchange. Details of model applications to several watersheds, including the Upper Klamath River Basin (Oregon), the Middle Bosque watershed (central Texas), the South Platte River Basin (Colorado), and the Ogallala Aquifer Region in eastern Colorado and northwestern Kansas, are presented. Current topics of research that are being addressed through these applications include groundwater-surface water interactions, impact of climate change on groundwater resources, groundwater storage in arid climates, and storage and transport of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in an irrigated agricultural watershed. Steps to including salinity chemistry and transport into the modeling framework also will be discussed.
