Product Information

In spite of the availability of powerful, user-friendly, model-specific pre- and postprocessing software, groundwater modelling is difficult. One of the main reasons for this is the necessity to transfer large amounts of data into and out of models, and between models, databases and visualisation and display software.

The Groundwater Data Utilities were written to complement existing models, and their graphical pre- and postprocessors, were developed in an attempt to overcome some of the ancillary problems involved in the practice of groundwater modelling. None of the tasks performed by any of the programs developed is particularly difficult; yet to undertake these tasks without software assistance would be time-consuming and errorprone as they generally involve the processing of large amounts of data.
