Remarks
headRaster |
Raster containing values of groundwater head elevation for each cell in the raster. The head is typically an elevation above some datum, such as mean sea level. |
porosityRaster |
Raster containing values of effective formation porosity for each cell in the raster |
thicknessRaster |
Raster containing values of saturated thickness for each cell in the raster |
transmissivityRaster |
Raster containing values of formation transmissivity for each cell in the raster The transmissivity of an aquifer is defined as the hydraulic conductivity K times the saturated aquifer thickness b, as units of length squared over time. This property is generally estimated from field experimental data such as pumping tests. |
- The method returns a reference to a Raster object.
- Use a RasterBandCollection for output direction and magnitude rasters.
