NETPATH User's Interface. The Isotope
Hydrology Section of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has
sponsored a project to create a user's
interface for the model NETPATH. This
model is used to interpret net geochemical mass-balance reactions
between initial and final waters along a hydrologic flow path. The program uses
chemical and isotopic data for waters from a hydrochemical system. The
interface, which greatly simplifies data entry (see this
example screen), is developed by Aly El-Kadi with assistance
from Kayo Fujiwara, a former student in UH's Department of Information and
Computer System. A meeting was held in Menlo Park, California, July 24 - 26,
2007, to test and update the software. The meeting was attended by L. Niel
Plummer, of the USGS and model developer, Pradeep Aggarwal, Head of IAEA's
Hydrology Section, and Aly. A technical note will be prepared for publication
in Ground Water to describe the program. The software itself is available from
IAEA within their isotope educational
software. The updated version will be independently distributed after
completion.
