A Review of Groundwater and Surface Water Interaction Using Integrated Methods

Water resource management without considering the groundwater and surface water interactions cannot lead to reliable results, especially in the management of rivers and reservoir dams. Application of numerical models is a cost-efficient approach in simulating the water resources issues. In recent years, the number of researches increases significantly in this field. Although there are numerous review articles, which assess and classify the numerical studies in the field of groundwater or surface water management, the lack of information about integrated methods for groundwater and surface water interactions is apparent. This study tends to compare the different methods which are used in groundwater and surface water interaction studies and conclude the advantages and shortcomings of such methods.
