Abstract
The flow model is created in 2 steps. First a conceptual model assesses stratigraphy, lithofacies and structure of the basin, the distribution, connections and parameters of aquifers and the cell size, boundaries and geometry of the model. In a second step, when the conceptual model is transformed into a numerical model setup, a steady state run is executed and calibrated for various parameters, most of all the aquifer properties, but also the recharge and water levels. This numerical model uses Geo-Modelling-Software (GMS) and serves as a basis of subsequent transient conditions models.
