Abstract A steady state finite difference model, MODFLOW, is developed to quantify groundwater in Jamwa Ramgarh, Jaipur (Dt) Rajasthan, using Groundwater data from 06 observation wells. ArcGIS was used to generate various shapefiles required as input files in Visual MODFlow Flex. The findings indicate that the calculated contours of groundwater levels closely correspond to the observed contours. The sustainable utilization and management of groundwater resources pose significant challenges for many countries worldwide. In recent years, groundwater modelling has emerged as an effective approach to tackle these challenges. Various modelling software tools are available to simulate groundwater flow, with MODFLOW being widely used to investigate the interactions between surface water and groundwater and to develop models for specific study areas. MODFLOW, a renowned groundwater modelling software, enables researchers and water resource professionals to understand and analyze the complex dynamics of groundwater systems. By utilizing MODFLOW, it becomes possible to assess the interactions between surface water and groundwater, evaluate the impacts of pumping or recharge activities, and make informed decisions regarding the sustainable management of groundwater resources. The utilization of MODFLOW and similar modelling software plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of groundwater systems and supporting effective groundwater resource management practices.
