| Abstract | Heavy pumping of groundwater in Bangkok aquifers in past decades has created many
undesirable effects and the complex nature of Bangkok aquifer system requires 3-D
representation. In this study a versatile and portable 3-D groundwater flow model, MODFLOW
has been adapted to simulate complex Bangkok multi-aquifer system.
MODFLOW performance for Bangkok multi-aquifer system was first verified by using the
same parameters and discretization used in a previous quasi 3-D model and comparing with
the quasi 3-D model results. Hydrogeologic parameters were reevaluated from the detailed
stratigraphic sections and calibration was performed to obtain an improved set of model
parameters. The simulation period was extended from 1986 to 1990 with field data provided by
Department of Mineral Resources. Finally MOD FLOW was used to predict the future performance
of Bangkok multi-aquifer system.
MODFLOW performance with the improved parameters is much better than that of quasi
3-D model and its parameters. Hydrogeologic parameters obtained in calibration with MOD FLOW
agree very closely to field estimation. |
