Setting up a groundwater model with land subsidence simulation using Python
The objective of the research is to investigate the effect of groundwater abstraction on land subsidence at Rasheed, Nile Delta, Egypt. The findings reveal a notable impact of groundwater abstraction on water levels within the study area, indicating a reduction of more than half a meter through the period from 1990 to 2019. The interaction between groundwater abstraction and rainfall recharge has led to temporal fluctuations in land subsidence. The observed vertical displacement ranges from +5.1 to -9.9 mm through the period from 1990 to 2019, underscoring the dynamic nature of subsidence processes. Notably, storage and hydraulic parameters These findings underscore the importance of sustainable water management practices to mitigate the adverse impacts of groundwater abstraction on land subsidence. In addition, this tool can be utilized by stakeholders to develop effective strategies for preserving the region's infrastructure and environment. The top layer plays a pivotal role in discerning the patterns of subsidence behavior.
