GISGroundwater － A seamlessly coupled GIS and distributed groundwater flow model
Lei Wang
British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, UK, NG12 5GG
Dr Wang’s expertise lies in agricultural diffuse water pollution, hydrological and hydrogeological modelling and environmental real-time modelling. He has successfully won funding worth £2.7m from Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Environment Agency (EA) and Innovate UK (TSB). His research on the “Nitrate time bomb (NTB)” has changed government behaviour and policy. For example, the EA directly invested in integrating the NTB work into their work on Nitrate-Vulnerable-Zones designation and began to use the NTB model at both the policy and local level for better implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive and the EU Nitrates Directive. Beyond this, he has been developing commercial opportunities including recent funding from NERC and Innovate UK. So far, he has published more than 30 peer-reviewed papers, 2 books and 9 BGS technical reports. He has developed 15 pieces of software that are used nationally and internationally.
Abstract
Geographic Information System (GIS) is the major data source for many numerical groundwater models; and it is common practice to couple the models with GIS. There are three methods for coupling numerical groundwater models... [ view full abstract ]
