CARD | Argument | Units | Description |
---|---|---|---|
WATER_TABLE "filename.wte" |
file name | Specifies the simulation of the effect of the water table on the RE solver, gives GRASS ASCII map name of starting groundwater surface elevations (m). | |
GW_SIMULATION |

GW_RELAX_COEFF ##.## |
real | none | Factor to over-relax or under-relax next estimate in LSOR calculations. Required with INF_RICHARDS only. Values greater than 1.0 over-relax, values less than 1.0 under-relax. Increase value to speed solution. Decrease value when solution doesn't converge. |
AQUIFER_BOTTOM "filename.bot" |
file name | name | Name of GRASS ASCII map of bedrock elevations (m). |
GW_BOUNDFILE "filename.bnd" |
file name | name | Name of GRASS ASCII map that contains the boundary type of each cell. (0) no flow (1) no boundary, regular infiltration cell (2) specified head, taken from WATER_TABLE file (3) dynamic flux (well), not yet available (4) river with calculated flux to/from groundwater (5) river with specified head, value from channel solver (6) static flux (well), value taken from GW_FLUX_BOUNDTABLE (7) reservoir |
3.9.2 Optional Inputs
Card | Argument | Units | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
GW_ASSIGN_THETA |
none | When simulating saturated groundwater, assign initial values of moisture in each cell of the unsaturated zone using values in the SOIL_LAYER_INPUT_FILE. Used only with INF_RICHARDS
| ||
GW_UNIF_POROSITY |
none | Uniform porosity to be used in every cell in the groundwater problem | ||
GW_POROSITY_MAP "filename.por" |
file name | Name of GRASS ASCII map containing porosity values for each cell
| ||
GW_UNIF_HYCOND ##.## |
real | cm/hr | Uniform hydraulic conductivity used in every cell in the groundwater problem
| |
GW_HYCOND_MAP "filename.hyd" |
file name | Name of GRASS ASCII map containing hydraulic conductivity (cm hr-1) values for each cell in the groundwater problem
| ||
K_RIVER ##.## |
real | cm/hr | Hydraulic conductivity (cm hr-1) of streambed material. Use in conjunction with CHAN_EXPLIC and GW_BOUNDFILE type 4. May also be distributed in CHAN_INPUT file. | |
M_RIVER ##.## |
real | cm | Depth of streambed material (m). Use in conjunction with CHAN_EXPLIC and GW_BOUNDFILE type 4. May also be distributed in CHAN_INPUT file. | |
GW_FLUXBOUNDTABLE "filename.flx" |
file name | Input ASCII file containing location and pumping rate of wells in the grid. Locations should correspond to GW_BOUNDFILE. | ||
GW_LEAKAGE_RATE ##.## |
real | cm/hr | 0.0 | Rate of water loss out of the bottom of the shallow aquifer. |
SINGLE_UNSAT_SAT ##.## |
real | fraction | 0.75 | Fraction of soil saturation for the unsaturated groundwater media when using GAR |
- Values for porosity (θs) and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) may be specified in one of four (4) ways:
- Without specifying one of the two types of cards above, θs and/or Ks values for each cell will be assigned the value of bottom layer of the SOIL_LAYER_INPUT_FILE for the soil type as specified in the SOIL_TYPE_MAP.
- Uniform values of θs or Ks may be specified using the appropriate card above.
- GRASS ASCII maps of θs or Ks values for each cell may be assigned by using the appropriate card above.
- Values may be assigned in the MAPPING_TABLE
3.9.3 Optional Output
CARD | Argument | Description |
---|---|---|
GW_OUTPUT "filename.gw" |
file name | Filename to output groundwater head (m) MAP_TYPE maps every MAP_FREQ time steps. |
OUT_WELL_LOCATION "filename.iwl" |
file name | Input ASCII file containing the locations of observation wells. Values of groundwater head at each location in the file specified in OUT_WELL_LOCATION will be output every MAP_FREQ time steps in the GW_WELL_LEVEL file. |
GW_WELL_LEVEL "filename.owl" |
file name | File name to output groundwater heads every HYD_FREQ time steps at locations specified in OUT_WELL_LOCATION. |
