Interactive Modeling and Data Management for Predicting Surface and Groundwater Quality and Quantity

摘要

This report outlines an approach to the study of coupled surface and groundwater systems. It reports on the progress of a one-year exploratory research project on the development of methods for linking various models and data together, interactively, to enable the prediction and study of regional water quantity and quality problems. Interactive computer graphics are used to facilitate spatial data input, editing and display, and for model management and sequencing. The methods developed and planned in this project are being adopted for implementation on portable microcomputers having sufficient memory, disk storage and speed to enable the use and display of videodigitized maps and other data requiring high spatial and color resolution.
