An Overview of the Simulation Models

Figure 5 shows the relationship between the SFWMM, also known as the Water Management Model (WMM) or Managed System Model (MSM) and other key models available at the District. Time dependent data available through the District's ARC INFO and time independent data from the Agricultural Field Scale Irrigation Requirements Simulation Model (AFSIRS) Database is preprocessed by the ET/ Recharge Model to generate consistent input to the county MODFLOW Models, which calculates ground water interactions, and to the SFWMM, which models the regional hydrologic interactions. GWZoom allows the user of the MODFLOW to zoom into an area, this feature is useful for Permitting and Regulations. The AFSIRS Model is called by the ET/Recharge Model to calculate the irrigation demand.

Figure 6 shows an overview of the parameters that are used in calculation of the South Florida Water Management Model (SFWMM). Figure 7 illustrates the modules that make up the SFWMM.
