MODFLOW AND MIKE SHE FROM HYDROLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY ASPECTS : A CASE STUDY - KLANG RIVER BASIN

Due to the urbanization and development, the water supply situation in Klang river basin has been challenge and subjected risk of inadequate supply. Therefore, sustainable use and management of water especially groundwater resources thru groundwater modelling has been useful for water resources management, decisions making. and required water allocation during droughts. Recently, there are a number of modelling software popular to simulate groundwater flow. In this paper two modelling software MODFLOW and MIKE SHE from hydrology and hydrogeology aspects were used to develop two individual groundwater models and a comparison of these model’s output is presented based on case study at Klang River basin. These two modelling software were developed and calibrated using hydrology and hydrogeology data. Each groundwater model has its own advantages and disadvantages. As such this study is intended to compare these two models and identify the suitability of the model for simulating the groundwater resource of the study area.
