    Abstract

    This study demonstrates the importance or detailed knowledge of the geological framework before subjecting a model area to groundwater modelling. Detailed knowledge is obtained through collection of geological and geophysical data and thorough analysis of local stratigraphy and geological processes forming the specific model area analysed. Even small variations in geological interpretation generate significant differences in the simulated groundwater flow dynamics calculated by the groundwater model due to the complexity of the flow system generated by the network of relatively small channel-like aquifers situated in a clayey matrix.
