CAPTURE
CAPTURE performs the following tasks based on equations that are presented in Bear and Jacobs (1965) and Kasenow (2010). These equations assume zero recharge, uniform aquifer properties and a non-zero hydraulic gradient.
- Calculates the infinite-time capture zone of an extraction well.
- Calculates travel times to the extraction well from points within this zone.
- Repeats these calculations for many stochastic realizations of:
- hydraulic conductivity;
- porosity;
- groundwater gradient;
- groundwater gradient direction.
- After performing these calculations, CAPTURE records probabilities, evaluated over a grid, that the travel time is less than a user-specified threshold in a number of different files.
- Optionally, CAPTURE records stochastic travel times at user-supplied observation points so that travel time histograms can be constructed at these points.
All CAPTURE outputs are recorded using real-world coordinates. Hence they can be overlain on maps and images of a study area.
SYMPLE25 APP
The iNUX project, an EU-funded initiative under the ERASMUS+ program, is dedicated to developing innovative digital learning and teaching materials. These resources are shared as open-source educational tools, ensuring students worldwide have access to high-quality learning opportunities.
As part of this initiative, the SYMPLE25 app was developed by Thomas Reimann, transforming a collection of Jupyter notebooks into a user-friendly Streamlit application. Released in December 2024, the app serves as a support to the SYMPLE School of Hydrogeological Modeling, offering an interactive learning experience. It continues to evolve each year, enriched by feedback and contributions from the School attendees.
The SYMPLE25 APP covers the first module of the School programme and is available for free consultation.
