- Technical note: HydroModPy (v1.0) – a Python toolbox for deploying catchment-scale shallow groundwater models (2026) · Hydrology and Earth System Sciences · doi
The deployment of physically based groundwater models at the catchment scale is challenging and time-consuming. There is a need for automated and streamlined multi-site development of hydrogeological models. Existing models do not provide a fully scriptable, end-to-end workflow for constructing, executing, calibrating, and analyzing unconfined shallow groundwater models.

Limited research has provided quantitative, model-based assessments of recent land-use dynamics and their hydrological consequences in the Bouskoura catchment. The absence of observed streamflow data prevents calibration and validation of hydrological models in the region.

Physically based hydrological-hydraulic models provide a process-based representation of flood generation, but they generally cannot resolve the spatial dynamics of floodplain inundation. Hydrological models simulate rainfall-runoff processes and river discharge, but they require discharge hydrographs as upstream boundary conditions.
