Groundwater Vistas - graphical user interface for groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling

Why Groundwater Vistas?


 

MODFLOW2005!
The Groundwater Vistas Vistas 5 supports MODFLOW2000 and MODFLOW 2005.



Windows!
The other major groundwater modeling products were ported from Unix or DOS. Groundwater Vistas was designed for Windows exclusively. Groundwater Vistas offers cut/copy/paste, WYSIWYG printing, and a multi-document interface.



Telescopic Mesh Refinement
Telescopic Mesh Refinement (TMR) is the process of creating a local scale refined model from a large scale model. Both steady state and transient TMR models can be created. No other modeling interface has this capability!



Automated Calibration
Groundwater Vistas already supports not just one but a variety of inverse (auto-calibration) models including PEST, UCODE, and a new inverse model built right into the Groundwater Vistas interface. You may calibrate on any combination of aquifer parameters including hydraulic conductivity, vertical conductance, boundary head, well flow rate, recharge, and evapotranspiration. No other modeling interface has this capability!



All MODFLOW Versions
Groundwater Vistas supports all versions of MODFLOW, MT3D, and MODPATH, including MODFLOW'96, MODFLOWT, MODFLOW-SURFACT, MT3D'96, MT3DMS, and RT3D. No other modeling interface has this capability!



RT3D Model
Groundwater Vistas supports the use of the RT3D model, a multi-species reactive transport code based on MT3D. RT3D is designed to simulate natural attenuation processes, accelerated bioremediation schemes, and dissolution of NAPLs.



Monte Carlo Risk Analysis
You may upgrade the standard Groundwater Vistas to Advanced Groundwater Groundwater Vistas and get special Monte Carlo versions of MODFLOW, MODPATH, and MT3D. No other modeling interface has this capability!



3D Visualisation
Groundwater Vistas exports data to a variety of formats for viewing model results using the latest 3D products, including Slicer, Earth Vision, EVS, Environmental Workbench, Tecplot, and others. No other modeling interface supports many formats!



Hydrostratigraphic Units
Groundwater Vistas now includes the option of defining hydrostratigraphic units, which are defined by grouping aquifer units together. Several zones, spanning several layers can be grouped together, for performing group sensitivity analyses and calibration. This new feature saves you time!



Matrix Calculator
This important new feature allows you to display a combination of any selected model parameters (conductivity, recharge, layer elevation, etc.) or computed value (head, concentration, velocity, etc.) This enables you to show input/output relationships.



Import/Export Anything!
You may import just about any type of data into Groundwater Vistas and export it back out again. File types include SURFER grid files, DXF files, ASCII text files, matrix files, MODFLOW files, etc. You may also use cut/copy/paste to and from any spreadsheet in Groundwater Vistas.


Support & Training
No vendor offers better support than the Groundwater Vistas developer. Support is free and the latest versions of software are kept on the developer's web site. Licensed users may download free upgrades at any time. Regular training courses are also offered in the U.S., U.K. and Europe.
