The groundwater flow modelling of any typical field situation is highly complicated in terms of heterogeneity and anisotropic assumptions. In order to simplify the complexity, this poster gives the grid approach to solve the typical field problem with simple steps using GMS (MODFLOW) and ArcGIS software. In this poster Ground water flow modeling of Kosi alluvial fan in Bihar region of India has been studied successfully using MODFLOW 3D GRID approach and COMSOL software using Groundwater Modeling System (GMS) with available depth to water table data and the aquifer parameters. COMSOL also has other interfaces like fracture flow, which can be utilised to model flow and contaminant transport through fractured porous media for a future work.
