The following is a list of the more significant changes that will be introduced in GMS 10.8.


  1. HydroGeoSphere interface added
  2. MODFLOW 6
    • Flow Budget
    • Velocity vectors
    • HFB package, map from coverage
    • Starting heads = top elevations option
    • Units in table column heading tool tips
    • Open in Explorer command
  3. MODFLOW
    • MODFLOW BCF package support for IKCFLAG
    • “SAMG-Modflow” and “SAMG-Modflow+ Add-on”
  4. MODFLOW-USG
    • Find and set pass through cells for MODFLOW-USG DISU package
    • DRT and ETS enabled
    • RCH, EVT, ETS packages allow the use of 3D Datasets to define input arrays.
    • The RCH, EVT, and ETS Packages offer a method to populate input array values from one or more rasters using the Rasters to Array feature(structured and unstructured grids).
  5. MODFLOW-USG Transport
    • Find and set “pass-through cells” for the MODFLOW-USG DISU Package
    • DRT & ETS Packages now fully supported for MODFLOW-USG Transport
    • RCH package support for SEEPELEV and CONCENTRATION
    • EVT package support for ETFACTOR
    • RCH, EVT, ETS packages allow the use of 3D Datasets to define input arrays. Previously there was only an option to use 2D Datasets on matching 2D structured grids
    • The RCH, EVT, and ETS Packages offer a method to populate input array values from one or more rasters using the Rasters to Array feature. (structured and unstructured grids)
    • DRT and ETS enabled
  6. General
    • New color ramp dialog with about 200 new ramps from Colorcet and MatPlotLib
    • 3D UGrid from Rasters tool
    • Ability to handle non-English characters in datasets
    • List of selected UGrid cell/point IDs shown in selection feedback
    • Legend can include dataset units and time units via UNITS and TUNITS in Contour Legend Options dialog
    • Map to WASH tool
    • Select all cells in UGrid layer using ‘l’ (L) key
  7. New Tutorials
    • HydroGeoSphere – Surface Flow and Evapotranspiration
    • HydroGeoSphere – Porous Media Domain
    • HydroGeoSphere – Post-Processing
    • MODFLOW 6 MDT 3D


Model Versions: MODFLOW-USG Transport version 2.1.1, mod-PATH3DU version 2.1.7, MODFLOW 6 version 6.4.2, PEST version 17.5
