Note: You may work in pairs on this assignment.
The objective of this assignment is to interpolate a set of MODFLOW layer elevations using the scatter point tools in GMS. We will start with an existing MODFLOW model:
Do the following:
1) Download and unzip the following project:
2) Open the project within GMS. This is a partially completed one layer MODFLOW model of a site. However, we need to interpolate the top and bottom elevations and a set of starting heads.
3) Note that there are two text files in the folder with scatter point data:
elevs_bottom.txt
elevs_top.txt
Open the files in text editor to review the contents. One contains a series of elevations for the top of the aquifer and the other contains a series of elevations for the bottom of the aquifer.
4) Use the File|Open command to import each of the two text files as 2D Scatter Point sets.
3) Use the elevs_top scatter point set to interpolate to the MODFLOW top elevation array.
4) Use the elevs_bottom scatter point set to interpolate to the MODFLOW bottom elevation array.
6) Redo the interpolation while experimenting with 2-3 of the other interpolation options. Save the interpolated arrays that you are the most comfortable with.
Save the GMS project with the completed solution. Zip up all files associated with the project.
Upload your zip archive via Learning Suite.
