Online Guide to MODFLOW-NWT

Abbreviation in Name file

RES

Purpose

The Reservoir Boundary package simulates leakage between a reservoir and an underlying groundwater system as the reservoir area expands and contracts in response to changes in reservoir stage.  The user can specify beginning and ending stages for the reservoir in each stress period.

Unlike the Lake package, the head in reservoirs is unaffected by the interaction between the reservoir and the groundwater.
