Scientific article of the Hydrogeology Group included in the Editor's Choice of the journal Groundwater

The article "MODPATH-RW: A Random Walk Particle Tracking Code for Solute Transport in Heterogeneous Aquifers", recently published by Rodrigo Pérez-Illanes and Daniel Fernàndez-Garcia, has been included in the Editor's Choice of the journal Groundwater. The publication introduces a novel computer program to simulate solute transport processes through groundwater systems by means of random walk particles, improving the availability of numerical tools for solving a highly complex problem. The program MODPATH-RW was built by extension of the USGS' particle tracking code MODPATH, and as such, is seamlessly integrated with multiple versions of the well-known groundwater flow simulator MODFLOW.

Groundwater is a leading international journal of the National Ground Water Association (USA) focusing exclusively in groundwater related topics like flow and well hydraulics, hydrogeochemistry and contaminant hydrogeology, among others. Works included in the Editor's Choice are handpicked by the editorial team in order to showcase some of the best articles published in the journal.
