South Lee County Model Update
Lago provided updates to the South Lee County MIKE SHE/MIKE11 model in order to provide boundary conditions for the ICPR model available for the Village of Estero. The starting point was the DRGR model developed by DHI on year 2009.
- CLIENT
- Village of Estero(sub-consultant to Water Science Associates and J.R. Evans Engineering)
- YEAR
- 2016-2017
- APPLIED SKILLS
- Integrated Modeling: Data Mining & Pre-Processing; Model conceptualization & setup; Model Calibration
- CONSULTING AREAS
- Surface water management
- SOFTWARE
- MIKE SHE/MIKE11, ArcMap, and LAGO Toolbox.
Specifics
The following components were updated in the MIKESHE/MIKE11 model:
- Rainfall and RET
- Landuse and irrigation
- MIKE11 network and cross sections
- Geological layers and lenses
- Pumping wells
- Observation station data
After the model results were compared with the observation data and the model conceptualization further improved, the hydraulic conductivities were adjusted to better match the observation data by using a proprietary tool (Adjust dfs2 file).
Outcome
The updated MIKE SHE/MIKE11 model was used to provide boundary conditions for the ICPR model available for the Village of Estero.
