Purpose

This is a python implementation of the Comparison Model Method (CMM), a direct method to solve inverse problems in hydrogeology, and in particular to compute the hydraulic conductivity T of a confined aquifer given an initial tentative value of T and one or more interpolated hydraulic head fields h. This implementation of the CMM heavily relies on the USGS engines of the Modflow family (and Modflow6 in particular) to solve the forward problem, facilitated by the use of the Python module flopy. Nevertheless, it can be adapted to make use of other engines for the solution of the forward problem.
