  • Modeling of the Water Table Level Response Due to Extraordinary Precipitation Events: the Case of the Guadalupe Valley Aquifer
    International Journal of Geosciences, 2013, 4, 950-958 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijg.2013.46088 Published Online August 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/ijg) Modeling of the Water Table Level Response Due to Extraordinary Precipitation Events: The Case of the Guadalupe Valley Aquifer Javier González Ramírez, Rogelio Vázquez González Earth Sciences Division, Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education at Ensenada, Ensenada, Mexico Email: [email protected], [email protected] Received May 13, 2013; revised June 23, 2013; accepted July 19, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Javier González Ramírez, Rogelio Vázquez González. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. ABSTRACT A two-dimensional algorithm for underground water flow simulation was modified and adapted to the geohydrologic conditions of the Guadalupe valley located in the state of Baja California in northern México. In order to solve the nu- merical model using the balance equation, the central finite differences with spatial and temporal constant increments method were used. Such model considers a heterogeneous and transient unconfined aquifer. Modeling and calibration processes are presented using the data of water table levels provided by the water level data loggers installed in a moni- toring network and precipitation data from climatic stations of both seasons: 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. It was possible to locate, correlate and model specific rainfall-recharge events with the aim of obtaining an estimation of how these events are directly reflected on the water table level of the aquifer and how it reacts against simulated extraordinary events.
