Aquifers also suffer impacts from climate change, which rises new challenges to integrated and sustainable water management, in its quality, quantity and ecosystem support components.
Climate change studies usually have time horizons of 50 to 100 years, which hinders the decision-making concerning water management policies once these are usually ba...

Climate change is bound to impact the water cycle and water availability, compounding the sustainable management of its quantity and quality. Groundwater is bound to suffer the impacts of climate change, coupled with those of land use changes, population and its lifestyles evolution. Climate change studies normaly have a 50 to 100 years horizon, wh...

No Projecto POCI/AGR/59180/2004, concluído em 2009 (cf. Lobo-Ferreira et al., 2009), apresenta-se uma metodologia para avaliação quantitativa dos impactos dos fogos florestais na quantidade e qualidade das águas superficiais e subterrâneas. Nesta metodologia procura-se avaliar as alterações que possam ter ocorrido após o fogo: (A) em volumes de rec...
Climate change is a statistically significant alteration of the climate variables in terms of their distribution both in time and in space. These changes will have a direct impact on the hydrological system and an indirect impact on the quality of the surface and groundwater resources. This paper deals with the impact of climate change on groundwat...

In FEFLOW specific storage is in fact the compressibility of an aquifer. I have a lake that is part of my model. The units FEFLOW gives for compressibility are 1/m, 1/ft or 10^-4/m. I've searched compressibility values and they are never given in such units in the bibliography I read. Does anyone know the values for free water in 1/m units?
does anyone know how to correct Delauney criterion violations in a FEFLOW mesh in an automatic fashion?
And how to automatically perform the equilateralization of triangles after Delauney criterion violation's corrections? #
I am trying to edit hydraulic conductivities using a selection of a specific storage area. I never used multiple assignment. What I did was:
1st - selected specific storage in panel Data
2nd - defined a selection
2nd - stored the selection
3rd - selected conductivity in panel Data
4th - activated the stored selection
5th - edited the conductivity values in the area of that selection
FEFLOW edited the values... but reshaped completely the distribution of ALL other properties. So now I have my conductivity OK but all my other properties have just 2 areas with 2 values in the whole domain of the model.
Can someone out there tell me how I solve this problem?
I am trying to manually assign new wells to a model I already have. However I stumble on the fact that when I am on the Multilayer wells editor FEFLOW simply stalls the process and the only way for me to stop it is to crash FEFLOW to get out of it. In attach I send my workflows.
Does anyone knows how to input these darned new wells into my model?
I need to introduce recharge series into FEFLOW but my rechargfe is, naturally, changing along the area of the model, and changes also across the time series. Meaning, for each time interval (1 month) I have a different map of recharge values. January map values are different from February map and so forth.
I need to input these time-series maps into FEFLOW but in spite of reading the manuals I have no clue whatsoever how this is done. Can anyone help me?
By the way, I send attached the workflow I've performed. It is strange that in the Link to parameters window, in the Topology processing, instead of "no topology processing", now what I get is "no selection of nodes or slices". Can you please tell me why this occurs?
I've input a multi-layer wells shapefile into a FEFLOW model and the wells are associated with the rightful Slices, on the right locations and one per mesh element. I also made the linkage (in the multilayer-wells input menu) between the wells and their pumping rates but when I run the inspection they show NO PUMPING RATES! Has anyone a idea of what might have gone wrong or how to correctly input multi-layer wells shapefiles? I can't find a clue to this problem in the User's Manual. Please HELP! 📷
And no, I didn't forget the Snap distance: snap distance was set = 0 m
I am facing a problem with FEFLOW concerning the import of recharge shapefiles into FEFLOW. I have my model with the presnet day recahrge but I intend now to model a future scenario with new recharges. So I go to the Maps panel, click on the shape of the present day recharge which I want to remove in order to input the new recharge values. Then I do "Remove". The first strange thing is that the model does not seen to remove in fact anything once if I save the model after that, exit the program and then restart the program and reopen the model, the "removed" recharge values are still there.
So to overcome this after I did the apparently useless "Remove" command, I selected the whole area of the model and set all recharge values to zero. Then I import the new shapefile. And then is were a new problem arises: the distribution of the values I get inside the model after the import of the shapefile are quite different from the distribution I have in the original shapefile. Namely the model generates several zero recharge areas that had never existed in the original shapefile and on several locations the values it attributes has very little to do with the values on the same original shapefile. Even assuming it interpolates when it imports the shapefile, this is way too much "interpolation". This cannot be an issue due to different georeference systems once all shapefiles are on the same georeference system.
Hoping anyone out there can help me
