Modeling the Groundwater Dynamics of the Celaya Valley Aquifer

We propose a hydrodynamic simulation model to understand the piezometric operation of the Celaya Valley aquifer. The aquifer is located at the east of Guanajuato State in México. Our proposed model reproduces, under transitory conditions, the performance of the aquifer during the dry season from year 2015 to 2019 and the rainy season from year 2010 to 2015. The simulation was projected for the two seasons up to eleven years ahead and considering only three simulation scenarios (one should bear in mind that there are a number of different and interesting scenarios): trend, pump reduction and pump increase. In general terms, the model accurately reproduces the natural conditions of the aquifer. It is necessary to continue taking measures for the preservation of water; similarly, it is suggested to continue monitoring the aquifer piezometric levels to update the model based on data availability
