Development of a coupled flow and solute transport modelling for Astaneh-Kouchesfahan groundwater resources, North of Iran.

Astaneh-Kouchesfahan Plain is an important source of groundwater in Northern Iran. In the study area, rational management of groundwater resources requires a precise evaluation of groundwater flow and transport components. For this purpose, a 2-dimentional groundwater flow and solute transport model...
