This document discusses integrated surface water and groundwater modeling using GSFLOW. It begins by outlining new conceptual models of groundwater and surface water interaction based on isotope analysis showing that storm event streamflow is primarily composed of "old" or mobilized shallow groundwater. This challenges previous assumptions that overland runoff dominates event response. GSFLOW is then presented as a fully integrated model that represents these interactions through coupling the PRMS hydrologic model and MODFLOW groundwater model. Key capabilities discussed include representation of streams, wetlands, lakes, and reservoir operations.

HYDROLOGICAL MODELING STUDIES FOR PROPOSED FLOOD-CONTROL DAMS IN THE MARIKINA RIVER BASIN

Abstract
Tropical Storm Ondoy (Ketsana) crossed Metro Manila and the adjacent river basins in a late wet-season episode of 2009, starting in the evening of September 25, 2009 and continuing into the next day of September 26, 2009. TS Ondoy brought very intense and heavy rainfall to the region - record amounts of rains fell over a very short time period of 12 hours to 24 hours, which are estimated to occur at an average annual frequency of 1 in 100 years or even higher, depending on the measuring location in the region. The rains generated record-magnitude flood flows and inundation in the Pasig-Marikina River Basin in Metro Manila, and the Laguna de Bay region. This paper describes the application of the distributed watershed rainfall-runoff model SWATCH in order to simulate the TS Ondoy floods and other floods of lower return periods (2 years to 100 years) in the upper Marikina River Basin, using as input the spatially-interpolated rainfall network data and available topographic, soil/geology and river-geometry data. The SWATCH model consists of a tree-network of several variable rectangular surface/soil/aquifer storage nodes and overland/channel flow links, with accounting of soil moisture, evapotranspiration, infiltration, and recharge to groundwater, and routing of overland and channel flows, interflow and baseflow into aggregated total streamflows. Using the model-computed inflow flood hydrographs, the options of single or cascade of flood-control storage dams (with selected reservoir-storage and spillway capacities) for attenuation of floods peaks and volumes, and downstream flood hazard reduction are initially evaluated by flood-routing studies.
This study explains the use of remote sensing data for spatially distributed hydrological modeling using the MIKE-SHE software used in Tarim River Basin CHINA
A study confined to the lower tapi basin in Gujarat, India to find out the primary causes for 2006 floods in Surat city. The study involves collection of topographical data from the local geological survey organization, rainfall data from meteorological department of india and the application of HEC-HMS software from US Army corps of engineers to identify the primary cause of the runoff.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

9. 9
Old Water Paradox: Implications
► Old concepts (and emphasis) on overland runoff should be discounted
Sheet flow is not the dominant precipitation event response process
The unsaturated zone is not dominated by 1D vertical (“Richards
equation”) type flow
► Too simplistic a model in areas where there is GW/SW response
► There is significant lateral flow in the unsat zone!
► We need to re-think/re-conceptualize both recharge and the
shallow zone flow system as a set of 3D processes
The concept of event mobilized groundwater response is analogous to
interflow, but the mobilized water is primarily “old” groundwater
Evidence suggests this is not even Darcy flow
► If runoff is GW, then the distinction between SW and GW is
blurred!
10. 10
Old Water Paradox: What does this
mean to hydrogeology/modelling?
► The shallow groundwater system is responding much faster, and with
greater volumes, than we might ever have thought
► We need to spend more time understanding and representing the
soil/weathered zone and shallow geologic layers
Storage and mobilization of soil zone water and shallow groundwater need to be
simulated if we are to truly understand both recharge and streamflow response
► Concepts of focused recharge (hummocky topography, potholes, etc.)
and groundwater feedback (Dunnian processes and the contributing
area concept) are broadly more important
► We already have 3D models – we need 3D recharge and fast GW
11. 11
What do the GW Scientists think?
► Garth van der Kamp, Research Scientist (Groundwater and surface
water interactions), National Hydrology Research Centre, Saskatoon, SK
► Slide from Garth’s IAH 2012 World Congress Keynote Presentation:
► Conceptual flownet
models are wrong
► Much more active
flow in the shallow
zone
► Garth agrees
with Jeff
McDonnell’s

theory

NSF “Critical Zone” Conceptual Approach
► In 2001 the US National Science Foundation (NSF) began
work on a new “framework” for shallow earth science
research
More comprehensive approach than just GW/SW, unsat flow, etc.
Includes water, climate, vegetation (carbon cycle), energy processes
► New terminology: the “Critical Zone”
Definition: “where rock meets life”
CZ = “From the tops of the vegetation down into the groundwater”
► NSF funding of “Critical Zone Observatories” (CZOs)
Multiple research sites set up to study CZ processes

► GSFLOW is a new USGS integrated GW+SW model
Based on MODFLOW-NWT and USGS PRMS (Prepitation-Runoff Modelling System)
Both models fully open source, proven and very well documented
► GSFLOW Model Integration- design by expert committee:
First author is a SW modeller, but there is strong evidence that the GW modellers
were quite persuasive (2 of the 3 zones are based on MODFLOW)…
22. 22
GSFLOW Channels
► Streams are represented as a
network of linear segments or
channels
► Streams can pick up precipitation,
runoff, interflow, groundwater and
pipe discharges
► Stream losses to GW, ET, channel
diversions and pipelines
► GW leakage/discharge is based on
head difference between aquifer
and river stage elevation
An extra stream bed conductance layer
exists under each river reach
Similar to MODFLOW rivers, but the
head difference is based on total flow
river level
River Loss
River Pickup

(Markstrom et.al., 2008)
GSFLOW: Stream Channel Geometry
► The Stream Flow Routing package (SFR2) represents stream channels using an
8-point cross-section in order to accommodate overbank flow conditions
► Streamflow depths are solved using Manning’s equation
► Different roughness can be applied to in-channel and overbank regions
► SFR2 incorporates sub-daily 1D kinematic wave approximation if analysis of
longitudinal flood routing is required
24. 24
GSFLOW Stream Routing Benefits
► Full open channel hydraulic representation
Variable channel x-section geometry with overbank
► Streams channels need not conform to the grid cell or
element boundaries
No requirement to refine the model mesh around streams
No need to “straighten” the streams to conform to an element edge
All streams can be represented, including springs and intermittent
headwaters
► Stream controlling elevations can be set independent of
grid cell elevation
Streams can also incise through multiple GW layers
(real-world streams have a nasty habit of eroding)

Benefits of Integrated Stream Routing
► Head dependent leakage based on total flow stream levels
In a GW only model, the leakage is based on baseflow levels only
High stream levels after a storm can drive SW into the GW system
► Upstream flow can infiltrate downstream to the GW system
Full 3D “routing” of both SW and GW
► Analysis of the entire water budget, including SW takings,
SW discharges and stream diversions
► Model calibration to a field measurable parameter
(total streamflow)
No need to guesstimate baseflow
► Direct baseflow measurement is nearly impossible (seepage meters?)
► Baseflow separation is, at best, an unscientific empirical estimate
29. 29
Wetland Representation
► Wetlands have a wide range of water content (bogs, fens,
marshes, etc.), and can be represented in GSFLOW in
multiple zones
► Soil zone wetlands:
Partially or fully saturated soils, with surface ponding
Benefits – seasonal ET modelling, complex topography with
cascade overland flow and interflow, GW leakage or discharge
► Open water wetlands:
The portion of a wetland that generally has standing water
Represented as a lake that can penetrate one or more GW layers
Benefits: Dams, weirs, and control structures can all be simulated

Lake and Reservoir Modelling
► The GSFLOW Lake Package allows pits, lakes and
reservoirs to penetrate one or more aquifer layers
► A single lake can both pickup and loose water to multiple
aquifers in the the GW system
37. 37
GSFLOW Lakes and Wetlands
► Separate water balance done for
each lake to determine y:
► QIN + P – E – QLEAK(y) = QOUT(y)
► Wetlands and lakes can penetrate
multiple aquifer layers
► SFR2 handles lake
inflows and outflows.
► Outflow can be a fixed rate or
determined by stage-discharge
► Multiple inlets and outlets are
allowed

Conclusions: GSFLOW
► GSFLOW: An integrated model based on two powerful and
mature SW and GW models
MODFLOW, but adapted to handle shallow wet/dry problems
PRMS, but cell based and fully distributed
Plus – support for different grid resolutions and channels
► Capable of representing the complex shallow flow system,
plus real world stream and reservoir hydraulics
► Ideal for:
Analysis of cumulative impact of GW takings on SW features
Eco-hydrology, fisheries, drought and low-flow condition analysis
Problems involving pits, lakes and wetlands that incise one or more
subsurface layers
51. 51
Summary: New Conceptual Models
► New isotope analysis requires that we consider a
significant portion of streamflow response as “event
mobilized groundwater”
Overland runoff is not the dominant process
Old conceptual models of the unsaturated zone with predominantly
vertical flow need to be discarded
► Modelling suggests that the key processes are:
Soil zone storage and cascading soil zone interflow
Aquifer/aquitard saturated interface flow
► Simulations suggest that runoff response in natural basins
is highly variable and actually groundwater controlled
