| | ==Zones== |
| | Each material is associated with a domain and one or more zones. HydroGeoSphere uses the idea of “zones” to divide the model domain into different areas. Properties such as hydraulic conductivity are associated with one or more zones and thus can vary spatially. Each model domain (e.g. porous media, surface/overland flow, evapotranspiration) must have its own zonation associated with it. |
| | |
| | In GMS, zones are defined using cell-based datasets. These datasets can be created in a variety of ways. Hydraulic conductivity and other properties are defined on “materials”, and materials are assigned to one or more zones. |

HydroGeoSphere's Materials dialog is accessed by right-clicking on the simulation in the Project Explorer and selecting Materials from the menu.
The left side of the dialog contains the list of defined materials. The right side of the dialog shows the parameters for the selected material. The parameters depend on the domain associated with the material. Each domain contains various inputs to define parameters, which appear on the right side of the Materials dialog. There are three material domains available for the HydroGeoSphere model in GMS: porous media, surface flow, and ET (evapotranspiration). Each cell assigned to any of the zones listed for the material will be assigned the parameters for that material, the attributes of which are set in the Materials dialog.

Zones
Each material is associated with a domain and one or more zones. HydroGeoSphere uses the idea of “zones” to divide the model domain into different areas. Properties such as hydraulic conductivity are associated with one or more zones and thus can vary spatially. Each model domain (e.g. porous media, surface/overland flow, evapotranspiration) must have its own zonation associated with it.
In GMS, zones are defined using cell-based datasets. These datasets can be created in a variety of ways. Hydraulic conductivity and other properties are defined on “materials”, and materials are assigned to one or more zones.
Porous Media Domain
