Groundwater Mounding

AQTESOLV Advantage
Only AQTESOLV features a tool for simulating the transient rise of the water table beneath rectangular or circular recharge areas using Hantush (1967) solutions.

"I really like the automatic gridding link to Surfer!"

MOUNDSOLV New
Check out our new software product, MOUNDSOLV, for groundwater mounding analysis in horizontal and sloping aquifers!

NewHydroSOLVE, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of MOUNDSOLV, a new standalone software product for groundwater mounding analysis!

MOUNDSOLV includes solution methods and tools for groundwater mounding assessment not found in AQTESOLV:

  • a new analytical solution by Zlotnik et al. (2017) for groundwater mounding in horizontal and sloping unconfined aquifers under both transient and steady-state conditions
  • built-in visualization tools for profile, time-series and contour plots (example below) and a detailed report as well

AQTESOLV (Pro version only) includes solutions by Hantush (1967) to compute the transient water-table rise (height of groundwater mound) beneath rectangular and circular recharge areas (infiltration basins or ponds).

Use the groundwater mounding tool in AQTESOLV to evaluate infiltration from recharge areas such as the following scenarios:

  • septic fields
  • stormwater retention basins
  • groundwater recharge systems
  • managed aquifer recharge

An easy-to-use wizard interface lets you to create grid files for use with external contouring software. If you have Surfer (v 6 or higher), AQTESOLV automatically displays a contour plot of a groundwater mound for you!
