It simulates groundwater-level time series at a point by linking simple algorithms of soil drainage, unsaturated-zone flow and groundwater flow. It takes time series of rainfall and potential evapotranspiration as input and produces a time series of groundwater level. Hydrographs of flows through the outlets of the groundwater store are also generated, which can potentially be related to river flow measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AquiMod has been applied widely in the UK and internationally for <a href=\"#applications\">applications<\/a> including operational seasonal and flood forecasting, groundwater level record reconstruction and climate change impact assessment. It has also been used to teach concepts of subsurface flow and modelling to a range of audiences including earth science undergraduates and water practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure  class=\"img-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/TimeSeries_Aquimod.jpg\" data-toggle=\"lightbox\" data-footer=\"&lt;p&gt;Example groundwater level time-series simulation using AquiMod (cyan) and observed levels (black).
