Abstract. In Coupled Groundwater and Surface-Water Flow (GSFLOW) model, the three-dimensional finite-difference groundwater model (MODFLOW) plays a critical role of groundwater flow simulation, together with which the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) simulates the surface hydrologic processes. While the model development of each individual PRMS and MODFLOW model requires tremendous time and efforts, further integration development of these two models exerts additional concerns and issues due to different simulation realm, data communication, and computation algorithms. To address these concerns and issues in GSFLOW, the present paper proposes a conceptual framework from perspectives of: Model Conceptualization, Data Linkages and Transference, Model Calibration, and Sensitivity Analysis. As a demonstration, a MODFLOW groundwater flow system was developed and coupled with the PRMS model in the Lehman Creek watershed, eastern Nevada, resulting in a smooth and efficient integration as the hydrogeologic features were well captured and represented. The proposed conceptual integration framework with techniques and concerns identified substantially improves GSFLOW model development efficiency and help better model result interpretations. This may also find applications in other integrated hydrologic modelings.

Abstract Numerous geological research studies and mining operations have proved that fracture is one of the important factors controlling groundwater flow, mineralization, and ore distribution in metallic deposits. Most current approaches to groundwater flow simulation of naturally fractured media rely on the calculation of equivalent permeability tensors from a discrete fracture network (DFN). This study is aimed at developing a rational two-dimensional DFN by GEOFRAC, a geostatistical method of fracture direction and locations of sample data from a tin mine in the Gaosong area, Gejiu city, southwest China, and utilizing 3,724 outcrop fractures sampled on the ground of mountain Gaosong. Principal inputs of the DFN are density, direction, and continuity of disks that constitute a fracture plane. Fractures simulated by GEOFRAC were validated in that their directions corresponded well with those of the sample fractures. The permeability tensor of each modeling grid was then calculated based on the fracture network constructed. The results showed that GEOFRAC is valuable for two-dimensional DFN modeling in mines and other fracture-controlled geological phenomena, such as groundwater flow and slope failure.

Pulau Tioman terletak di pantai timur Semenanjung Malaysia. Akibat pembangunan yang pesat dalam industri pelancongan, permintaan terhadap bekalan air dijangka akan meningkat di pulau ini. Daripada kajian yang telah dijalankan sebelumnya, didapati airbumi merupakan sumber air yang berpotensi. Satu perisian model 3–dimensi (Visual MODFLOW) telah digunakan untuk menghasilkan model aliran airbumi dan pengangkutan bahan pencemar di Kampung Tekek dengan tujuan meramal simpanan airbumi dan penyebaran bahan pencemar, iaitu nitrat, semasa pengepaman. Daripada keputusan simulasi aliran airbumi yang diperolehi, pengepaman akuifer di Kampung Tekek dapat mencapai pada kadar 4000 m3/hari. Kajian model bahan pencemar menunjukkan kepekatan bahan pencemar nitrat yang tercatat di telaga pam didapati agak rendah dan memenuhi piawaian air minuman World Health Organisation (WHO). Kata kunci: Aliran airbumi, bahan pencemar, model numerik, Visual MODFLOW, pulau Tioman Island is situated in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. With rapid growth in tourism industry, the demand for water supply is expected to increase in this island. From previous studies, groundwater was found to be a potential source of water. A 3–dimensional numerical modelling software (Visual MODFLOW) is used to simulate the groundwater flow and pollutant transport of the aquifer in Kampung Tekek, for the prediction of available yield of groundwater, and also for studying the migration of potential contaminant source, i.e. nitrate, due to the withdrawal. The groundwater flow simulation results showed that the aquifer is capable of pumping 4000 m3/day. Results of pollutant transport modelling showed that the estimated concentration of nitrate in the pump well is generally low and complies with World Health Organisation (WHO) standard for drinking water. Key words: Groundwater flow, pollutant transport, numerical model, Visual MODFLOW, island
