Parameters

Explanation

Data Type

Head elevation

The raster data where each cell value denotes the groundwater head elevation at that position. The head is normally an elevation above some reference level, such as mean sea level.

Raster Sheet

Porosity

The raster data where each cell value denotes the actual creation porosity at that position. The volume of the porous medium contributes to fluid flow.

Raster Sheet

Saturated thickness

The raster data where each cell value denotes the waterlogged depth at that position. The value for the depth is taken from geological properties of the aquifer. The saturated thickness gives an indication of the aquifer depth.

Raster Sheet

Transmissivity

The raster data where each cell value symbolizes the creation transmissivity at that position. Transmissivity has effect on groundwater recharge rate because water permeates between granular void or pore spaces, and fractures between rocks
