Abstract :
Regarding to increased use of groundwater resources, it seems necessary to have more accurate
knowledge of characteristics of aquifers in order to improved usage and accurate management
of these resources. In this study, we simulated groundwater flow of Qazvin aquifer using
Visual MODFLOW model, collecting data and statistics, as well as using different studies. The
simulation model has operated and it has calibrated through changing the input parameters in
logical range and comparing the results to level of the groundwater in observation wells. calibrated
model has been administered in one year and then it got to validate. We planned different
scenarios which is possible to occur in future. Then we predicted the reaction of aquifer to these
environmental stresses by implementing the model and they have considered by hydrographic
frame of average groundwater level for each scenario separately and the results compared to
each other. At end, the results of annual water table balance of aquifer are studied and explained.
