Modpath: Computer program to compute and display pathlines using results from the U.S. Geological Survey program MODFLOW

DESCRIPTION

MODPATH is a program to compute and display pathlines using results from the U.S. Geological Survey modular three-dimensional finite difference groundwater flow model MODFLOW. It uses a semi-analytical particle tracking scheme, which provides an analytical formulation of the path within each computational cell. The package contains a specific output processor for graphical display.
