This example demonstrates how to simulate GW data for post-development scenarios using the new VO GW modelling tool. Results are then compared between:
- Using recorded GW data (existing conditions) for post-development scenarios.
- Using simulated GW data for post-development inflow conditions.
*From a hydrological perspective, the wetland is treated as an open water balance system where inflows and outflows collectively control the change in storage and hydroperiod. The main components of the wetland water balance include precipitation, surface inflow from the contributing catchment, groundwater inflow and outflow, evapotranspiration losses, and surface outflow. Any modification to catchment conditions due to development will alter one or more of these components, which in turn affects groundwater exchange and wetland storage dynamics.
