Hello, I am currently working on my undergraduate thesis, which focuses on modeling seepage through a dam. I am exploring the use of MODFLOW for this purpose, as it is widely recognized for simulating flow through porous media (based on information from the USGS website and my advisor's suggestion). However, I have been struggling to find relevant papers, case studies, or comprehensive tutorials to guide me in this specific application, which has left me feeling a bit overwhelmed. Additionally, the numerous add-ons and plugins available for MODFLOW make it challenging to understand their differences and how they might apply to my work. I would greatly appreciate any explanations, references, or resources that could help me better understand this topic. Thank you very much!
Its my understanding that in recent years modflow has been used with increasing success to simulate water table positions in unconfined aquifer systems (though haven't done this myself, or used modflow for many years). Dam seepage problems often include an unconfined aquifer; determination of where seepage occurs off the top of this unconfined aquifer (or at ground surface) has been both a conceptual and numerical modeling challenge in past decades; requiring specialized model approaches and techniques--however I'm not up to date on this; perhaps there are now modflow modules that can be used to tackle such a problem.
--input needed from someone with recent experience using modflow for water table simulation in unconfined aquifer systems/dam seepage?
