Abstarct: Meimeh plain in Zayandehrud basin is located at 95 kilometer NE of Isfahan. Due to
population growth and increase in industrial and agricultural activities local
groundwater have overexploited, especially near Meimeh and Vazvan city. This factor
in addition to the recent climatological drought has caused a negative balance,
resulting in a successive decrease in water table. There fo,r in order to manage the
aquifer and optimize well discharge, a mathematical model was used. In this study,
numerical code of MODFLOW-2000 in GMS package which is the most reliable code
for groundwater modeling was applied. For model design, required data including
meteorological, hydrological, hydrogeological, geophysics and geological data ware
gathered and analyzed. With respect to the aquifer dimension, topography, bedrock
and hydrodynamic coefficients, a conceptual model was prepared and then converted
to a numerical model. Model was calibrated in steady state for Azar 1389, and then for
a period of one year (1388-1389) in unsteady state, considering 4 stress periods and
time steps. After calibration process, model was verified for the subsequent water
years. The results confirmed model capability in prediction of aquifer condition for
future stresses. Groundwater table was predicted according to 4 scenarios of no
change in recent conditions, drought conditions, increase in precipitation and change
in discharges. The results show more drawdown in aquifer water table for the two first
scenario.
