mountain_aquifers - Mountain_Aquifers_v1

This release contains the python code to simulate unconfined groundwater flows in complex topographies under a wide range of geomorphoclimatic conditions. The simulations explore the role of subsurface water flows in the overall hydrological functioning of mountain catchments, specifically on:

• groundwater storage
• travel times and flowapath lengths
• upwelling and groundwater recharge fluxes
• the partitioning of incoming recharge into quick runoff and slow groundwater flows
• the extension of the grondwater-fed portion of the drainage network.

As the code requires basic geographical information as input (e.g. a DEM), and has a flexible parametrization, it can easily be extended to different morphological settings.
