nlmod

nlmod is a Python package to build, run and visualize MODFLOW 6 groundwater models in the Netherlands. The main focus is on building models in the Netherlands using publicly available datasets, though lots of functionality could be applied to groundwater models elsewhere.

nlmod relies on the wonderful features of xarray and geopandas for storing and manipulating data and flopy is used for building and running groundwater models.
