One-Dimensional Compaction in a Three-Dimensional Flow Field

This problem is based on the problem presented in the SUB-WT report (Leake and Galloway, 2007) and represent groundwater development in a hypothetical aquifer that includes some features typical of basin-fill aquifers in an arid or semi-arid environment.

Initial setup

Import dependencies, define the example name and workspace, and read settings from environment variables.

# in the git repository, use the folder structure described in
# the README. Otherwise just use the current working directory.
