Assessment of groundwater resources in Kuwait using a finite difference model
Usable groundwater resources have strategic significance, given the arid climate of Kuwait. Assessment of groundwater resources through modelling is considered of paramount importance for sustained long-term development of this resource. A conceptual model of the regional hydrogeology of the area has been developed based on the available data. Three aquifers were recognized within the Dammam Formation-Kuwait Group sequence. VTDN software was used for numerical simulation of the groundwater flow in this aquifer system under steady-state conditions. Calibration runs made to date suggest that the model is sensitive to the vertical coefficient of permeability of the aquitards and the horizontal transmissi-vities of the aquifers. The water balance achieved shows that the contribution from the natural recharge from precipitation is insignificant.
