Regional management modeling of a complex groundwater system for land subsidence control

The three-dimensional groundwater flow model MODFLOW and the one-dimensional consolidation model are coupled and calibrated to simulate the piezometric levels and land subsidence in the complex multi-aquifer system of the lower Central Plain of Thailand. The mathematical models are calibrated against historical data for the period 1955–1990 by considerably updating the system conditions used by previous studies. The aquifer system responses to...
