| ABSTRACT: | The calibration of flow in the basin was done in two steps using the MODFLOW code. In the first step the model was calibrated for relatively steady state natural conditions which prevailed in the basin prior to the beginning of intensive pumpage. The steady state water balance showed a natural replenishment of 352 MCM /year of fresh water, 70% of which was discharged through the Yarkon springs with the remaining 30% plus 3 MCM of sea water through the Taninim springs. In the second step the parameters of the first step were used to obtain a satisfactory reconstruction of the water levels for the period 1951/52 - 1992/93. The calibration of salinity was made for the northern part of the basin only using the SUTRA code with the flow data from MODFLOW. The reconstruction of salinity was relatively poor. It is therefore recommended to perform the calibration of salinity by means of the PTC (Princeton Transport Code). |
