Hallo,

1) You consider the computed heads obtained from Calibration Graph( Calculated
vs. observed head) in steady state model.

2) After running the model in steady state, you choose Initial Head selecting
'Previous MODFLOW run' option for transient state run, then it will take initial
head from steady state run and then heads at initial time obtained from
transient run will be same as that of steady state run.

Thank u,

S. Halder

Hi,

I am a civil engineer from Chile, I work in groundwater exploration.

I have two doubts about Visual MODFLOW:

1.- I found a difference between the water level in a cell if I see it from
the cell inspector and from the data exportation (in a steady model). Which
of these is the real water level?

2.- When I run a model in the transient condition the water level in the
initial time at a point is different from the level in the steady condition
(which was used as initial condition). Why?

I hope someone can tell me something about the problems I am facing.

Thanks!
