Unravelling groundwater's role in soil-plant-atmosphere continuum: Integrated ecohydrological modelling approach using STEMMUS-SCOPE and MODFLOW 6 Open

Mostafa Gomaa Daoud, Fakhereh Alidoost, Yijian Zeng, Bart Schilperoort, Christiaan van der Tol , et al. · 2025

Soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) models are commonly used to investigate various components’ role(s) in ecosystem functioning. Yet, in most SPAC models, groundwater is ignored or at best represented in an over-simplified manner, lead…

A New Groundwater Energy Transport Model for the <span>MODFLOW</span> Hydrologic Simulator Open

Eric D. Morway, Alden M. Provost, Christian D. Langevin, Joseph D. Hughes, Martijn J. Russcher , et al. · 2025

Heat transport in the subsurface is an important aspect of research related to the effects of a warming climate on ecological services (i.e., cold‐water refugia); the development of geothermal resources for energy banking schemes (i.e., aq…

Remote sensing evapotranspiration in ensemble-based framework to enhance cascade routing and re-infiltration concept in integrated hydrological model applied to support decision making Open

Mostafa Gomaa Daoud, Jeremy T. White, Eric D. Morway, Christiaan van der Tol, M. Lubczynski · 2024

Integrated hydrological models (IHMs) help characterize the complexity of surface–groundwater interactions. The cascade routing and re-infiltration (CRR) concept, recently applied to a MODFLOW 6 IHM, improved conceptualization and simulati…

Simulation of Heat Flow in a Synthetic Watershed: The Role of the Unsaturated Zone Open

Eric D. Morway, Daniel T. Feinstein, Randall J. Hunt · 2022

Future climate forecasts suggest atmospheric warming, with expected effects on aquatic systems (e.g., cold-water fisheries). Here we apply a recently published and computationally efficient approach for simulating unsaturated/saturated hea…

Simulation of Heat Flow in a Synthetic Watershed: Lags and Dampening across Multiple Pathways under a Climate-Forcing Scenario Open

Daniel T. Feinstein, Randall J. Hunt, Eric D. Morway · 2022

Although there is widespread agreement that future climates tend toward warming, the response of aquatic ecosystems to that warming is not well understood. This work, a continuation of companion research, explores the role of distinct wate…

The MODFLOW Application Programming Interface for simulation control and software interoperability Open

Joseph D. Hughes, Martijn J. Russcher, Christian D. Langevin, Eric D. Morway, Richard R. McDonald · 2021

The MODFLOW API allows other programs to control MODFLOW and interactively change variables without having to modify the source code. The MODFLOW API is based on the Basic Model Interface (BMI), which is a set of conventions that define ho…

Modeling dynamic feedbacks between water supply and water use in a snow-fed agricultural basin Open

Richard G. Niswonger, Eric D. Morway, Wesley Kitlasten, Murphy Gardner, Enrique Triana , et al. · 2018

Hydrologic models are used to evaluate past water budgets and future water supplies in developed river basins. Moreover, models are commonly used to evaluate alternative management options for enhancing water supply or to estimate anticipa…

The modular programming design of the U.S. Geological Survey Groundwater and Surface-Water Flow Model (GSFLOW) provides a flexible and extensible structure for exploration of integrated hydrologic science for historical and projected clima…

Managed aquifer recharge through off‐season irrigation in agricultural regions Open

Richard G. Niswonger, Eric D. Morway, Enrique Triana, Justin Huntington · 2017

Options for increasing reservoir storage in developed regions are limited and prohibitively expensive. Projected increases in demand call for new long‐term water storage to help sustain agriculture, municipalities, industry, and ecological…

Toward improved simulation of river operations through integration with a hydrologic model Open

Eric D. Morway, Richard G. Niswonger, Enrique Triana · 2016

Advanced modeling tools are needed for informed water resources planning and management. Two classes of modeling tools are often used to this end–(1) distributed-parameter hydrologic models for quantifying supply and (2) river-operation mo…
