Example 2: Analysis of groundwater monitoring networks using Pastas#

This notebook is supplementary material to the following paper submitted to Groundwater:

Collenteur, R.A., Bakker, M., Caljé, R., Klop, S.A., Schaars, F. (2019) Pastas: open source software for the analysis of groundwater time series. Groundwater. doi: 10.1111/gwat.12925.

In this second example, it is demonstrated how scripts can be used to analyze a large number of time series. Consider a pumping well field surrounded by a number of observations wells. The pumping wells are screened in the middle aquifer of a three-aquifer system. The objective is to estimate the drawdown caused by the groundwater pumping in each observation well.

1. Import the packages#

# Import the packages
import os

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

import pastas as ps

ps.show_versions()
ps.set_log_level("ERROR")

try:
    from timml import ModelMaq, Well

    plot_timml = True
except ImportError:
    plot_timml = False

plot_results = False
Pastas     : 2.0.0
Python     : 3.14.6
Numpy      : 2.4.6
Pandas     : 3.0.3
Scipy      : 1.18.0
Matplotlib : 3.11.0
Numba      : 0.66.0

2. Importing the time series#

In this codeblock the time series are imported. The following time series are imported:

  • 44 time series with head observations [m] from the monitoring network;

  • precipitation [m/d] from KNMI station Oudenbosch;

  • potential evaporation [m/d] from KNMI station de Bilt;

  • Total pumping rate [m3/d] from well field Seppe.

# Dictionary to hold all heads
heads = {}

# Load a metadata-file with xy-coordinates from the groundwater heads
metadata_heads = pd.read_csv("data/metadata_heads.csv", index_col=0)
distances = pd.read_csv("data/distances.csv", index_col=0)

# Add the groundwater head observations to the database
for fname in os.listdir("./data/heads/"):
    fname = os.path.join("./data/heads/", fname)
    obs = pd.read_csv(fname, parse_dates=True, index_col=0).squeeze()
    heads[obs.name] = obs
# Load a metadata-file with xy-coordinates from the explanatory variables
metadata = pd.read_csv("data/metadata_stresses.csv", index_col=0)

# Import the precipitation, evaporation and well time series
rain = pd.read_csv("data/rain.csv", parse_dates=True, index_col=0).squeeze()
evap = pd.read_csv("data/evap.csv", parse_dates=True, index_col=0).squeeze()
well = pd.read_csv("data/well.csv", parse_dates=True, index_col=0).squeeze()

# Plot the stresses
fig, [ax1, ax2, ax3] = plt.subplots(3, 1, figsize=(10, 5), sharex=True)
rain.plot(ax=ax1)
evap.plot(ax=ax2)
well.plot(ax=ax3)
plt.xlim("1960", "2018");
../../../_images/527b930bf3385a638012d12d45bae1ad055c84c05540456b8ae83c9a879696f5.png

3/4/5. Creating and optimizing the Time Series Model#

For each time series of groundwater head observations a TFN model is constructed with the following model components:

  • A Constant

  • A NoiseModel

  • A RechargeModel object to simulate the effect of recharge

  • A StressModel object to simulate the effect of groundwater extraction

Calibrating all models can take a couple of minutes!!

# Create folder to save the model figures
mls = {}
mlpath = "models"
if not os.path.exists(mlpath):
    os.mkdir(mlpath)

# Choose the calibration period
tmin = "1970"
tmax = "2017-09"
num = 0

for name, head in heads.items():
    # Create a Model for each time series and add a StressModel2 for the recharge
    ml = ps.Model(head, name=name)

    # Add the RechargeModel to simulate the effect of rainfall and evaporation
    rm = ps.RechargeModel(rain, evap, rfunc=ps.Gamma(), name="recharge")
    ml.add_stressmodel(rm)

    # Add a StressModel to simulate the effect of the groundwater extractions
    sm = ps.StressModel(
        well / 1e6, rfunc=ps.Hantush(), name="well", settings="well", up=False
    )
    ml.add_stressmodel(sm)

    # Add a NoiseModel (explicitly required since Pastas 1.5)
    nm = ps.ArNoiseModel()
    ml.add_noisemodel(nm)

    # Estimate the model parameters
    ps.solver.Lmfit(model=ml)
    ml.solve(tmin=tmin, tmax=tmax, report=False)

    # Check if the estimated effect of the groundwater extraction is significant.
    # If not, delete the stressmodel and calibrate the model again.
    gain, stderr = ml.parameters.loc["well_A", ["optimal", "stderr"]]
    if stderr is None:
        stderr = 10.0
    if 1.96 * stderr > -gain:
        num += 1
        ml.del_stressmodel("well")
        ml.solve(tmin=tmin, tmax=tmax, report=False)

    # Plot the results and store the plot
    mls[name] = ml
    if plot_results:
        ml.plots.results()
        path = os.path.join(mlpath, name + ".png")
        plt.savefig(path, bbox_inches="tight")
        plt.close()
print(f"The number of models where the well is dropped from the model is {num}")

Make plots for publication#

In the next codeblocks the Figures used in the Pastas paper are created. The following figures are created:

  • Figure of the drawdown estimated for each observations well;

  • Figure of the decomposition of the different contributions;

  • Figure of the pumping rate of the well field.
