DSD-INT 2016 India Ganges Basin modelling - Stuurman
DSD-INT 2016 India Ganges Basin modelling - Stuurman
The main focus is the river system. The groundwater
study is supporting the river assessment
DSD-INT 2016 India Ganges Basin modelling - Stuurman
High level objectives (TOR WorldBank)
To significantly strengthen the capability of relevant central and state
government agencies to undertake comprehensive evidence-based
strategic basin planning for the Ganga River basin
To develop, document and disseminate (through detailed analytical work
and stakeholder engagement) a set of plausible scenarios that
balance significantly improving the health of the river and
maintaining an acceptable level of economic productivity, and
To build stronger and more accessible information and knowledge
base to guide ongoing dialogue around and management of the
Ganga River basin
To establish ongoing multi-stakeholder engagement processes in
the basin to support strategic basin planning

7 november 2016
Types of groundwater – surface water interaction
7 november 2016
1. Continuous draining river,
3. Continuous Infiltrating river
(hydrological connection)
5. Continuous infiltration, (surface
water and groundwater
disconnected)
2. Periodically changing from
drainage into infiltration,
4. Through flow situation
iMOD model set-up
Project Advantages of iMOD:
• iMOD is open source and free
• Fast, flexible and consistent sub-domain modeling techniques.
• Can handle very large, high resolution models. Ganga basin > 3 million
grid cells
• Geo-editing of the subsurface
• Easy to use Graphical User Interface
• Powerful 2d/3d data visualization (also long time series)
• Easy model linking with other Deltares software for hydrology and water
resources ( e.g. WFlow/D-Hydrology and Ribasim)

outside The
Netherlands,
30 downloads

Status of the project
• Present (November 2016)
> Still some requests for data (geohydrology)
> Validating and processing data for mode input
> Linking iMOD with Wflow and Ribasim (set up tools to exchange water
fluxes / waterlevels)
• Near Future
> (ground)water models ready: March 2017
> Defining and calculating scenarios / measures: March - September 2017
> Project ready: December 2017
• Far Future
> On-going update and use of models by national/state governments and
consultants
