Abstract

In the framework of the SALMON project (Sea Air Land Modelling Operational Network) supported by the IBM International Foundation at the University of Liege (Belgium), three existing models (ocean, river and groundwater) are to be connected adequately in order to form one single model. This model should be able to describe all water and contaminant fluxes in a whole system at regional scale including marine, river, groundwater and atmospheric inputs. In practice, the connection of the different models is done through a specific interface, called ' Junction'. In the SUFT3D groundwater model, the interactions with the river are based on the Fourier boundary conditions. In the presence of 'wet docks', supplementary equations based on flow and solute mass balance have to be added in the 3D groundwater model in order to
