*** General Introduction ***
This repository contains a Jupyter Notebook that simulates the transport and degradation of 
dissolved petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater using reactive transport modelling. The model
was built using FloPy, an open-source Python-based modelling tool for creating, running, 
and post-processing groundwater models. It also contains the Jupyter Notebook to visualize
the simulation results.

It is being made public to act as supplementary files for a publication submitted to WRR which
is related to the PhD project of Chen Lester R. Wu, and for other researchers to use in their own work.

This work has been performed within the cooperation framework of Wetsus, the European Centre
 of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology (wetsus.nl), and Technische Universiteit Delft 
(tudelft.nl). This research has been financially supported by the Netherlands Organization for 
Scientific Research (NWO; Sustainable Water Technology Call 2018; contract number: ALWET.2019.003).

*** Description of the documents in this repository ***
The documents included in this repository are described below:

BaseCase_Scenario_RTM_Flopy_WRR_Wu.ipynb = Jupyter Notebook containing the reactive transport
model using FloPy. The external executable files used in this model are MODFLOW2005 and PHT3D.

Flopy_Visualization_WRR_Wu.ipynb = Jupyter Notebook to visualize the simulation results.

visualizeflopy.py = Python module created for visualizing simulation results. This module is 
used in the Flopy_Visualization_WRR_Wu.ipynb notebook.

postfix.phrq = Postfix file containing the code for setting the outgassing pressure threshold in 
the model. This file is read while running the PHT3D software.
