The calibration of hydrogeological models can be defined as the procedure to adjust the hydraulic parameters of the model where the resulting hydraulic heads and flows are as close as possible to the observed values. Due to the complexities of hydraulic parameter distribution, model geometry, the conceptualization of boundary conditions, and other factors, the calibration procedure can be time-consuming and sometimes with limited success; however, there are tools implemented on Model Muse as PEST that speed up the process of calibration and uncertainty analysis in groundwater models. In this course, manual calibration will be developed using geospatial tools such as QGIS and Modflow with Model Muse for parameter adjustment. Automatic calibration cases will also be created using the PEST tool from Modflow with Model Muse..…more info.
