R.J.Oosterbaan 20:16, 13 June 2007 (UTC) The "first draft" was conceived by me. As an agricultural engineer (iirigation and drainage) I have had no training in groundwater modeling, but in my work in many countries I had to deal with groundwater, especially in salinized soils in irrigated lands. Because of the need to diagnose the soil salinity problems (on which the groundwater flow exerts a geat influence, especially in alluvial fans, large river valleys, river deltas and coastal lowlands) and to assess the impact of reclamation works, I made my own model that includes agricultural aspects and farmers' responses. Initially programmed in Fortran, later with a Turbo Pascal interface, and recently I managed to make a windows version using Delphi. The program is quite big. I am now 68, have retired, and found the time do so. The software is on my website and from correspondence it became clear that the model is used. What I really want to say is: I would like to have support to improve the article as I am feeling something is missing I will watch the talk page to see if anyone would like to go into discussion or whether independent updates were made.Reply

I have come to the conclusion that the relatively long part on the principles of SahysMod should be moved to a separate page with mutual links. I will do so some time. This page should more be devoted to describing briefly the existing models, in a kind of general framework, while for more details, each model must be found on another page.

On 22 June Groundwater model was given additional links and the SahysMod part was moved to a separate page by Mwtoews. Nice job.

I'm sure there are some nice visual representations from one computer model or another that could be included. -- Beland (talk) 17:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Two figures were added to accommodate Beland´s request, but perhaps nicer visual representations could be included. R.J.Oosterbaan (talk) 18:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
