Review on Groundwater Modeling System 8.0 by Tony Conlon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

User-friendly and flexible for various scientific purposes

The ability to run simulations quickly with many parameters allows us as geologists at our disposal without having much experience or knowledge about computer software engineering! We are using this tool mainly because it is very user friendly so that we can easily modify its code (written by others) if needed when working together within research groups such as ours which involves collaboration between different disciplines like hydrogeology, seismics etc.. It's not perfect but I think most things could be improved regarding speed especially considering how large some datasets become once you add more inputs into your program; however what seems less problematic from my point view would probably require extra effort since there isn't any shortcut available yet unless one has enough expertise already.

Pros
  • User friendly interface compared other programs used in similar studies.
  • Many options for simulation configurations allowing easy changes depending upon project needs,
  • Relatively fast calculations/running time during analysis period vs alternative softwares
  • Large community support forums providing helpful answers almost instantly via email messages instead spending hours trying finding proper solution elsewhere online
Cons
  • Zero
