Visualization of Surface Water - Groundwater Interaction

Simulating groundwater-surface water interaction in complex topography such as hummocky terrain has traditionally been viewed as a significant challenge to the hydrologic modelling community, for example so-called fill and spill behavior.
However, with Aquanty's HydroGeoSphere, the complex processes by which water movement is influenced by the combination of surface topography and highly variable subsurface hydrostratigraphy or preferential flow pathways can be readily reproduced.
In this example, precipitation is falling on an upland area which then initiates overland flow, filling, and spilling of surface depressions. The Tecplot 360 animation illustrates depression-focused groundwater recharge occurring beneath the depressions, with both a perched water table and a fractured aquitard influencing sub-surface water movement.
