MINEDW User Manual ================== .. figure:: media/ICG16-LGO-MINEDW-200-BAN-BLU.png :width: 6.5in :height: 1.54in :align: center **MINEDW** is a three-dimensional (3D), finite-element, groundwater flow program that was developed specifically for mining applications. **MINEDW** is used worldwide to design dewatering or depressurization systems, predict local and regional environmental impacts of mine dewatering, assist in the design of water-supply systems, simulate the infilling of a “pit lake” after mining ceases, and estimate pore-pressure distributions within highwalls for geotechnical design purposes. Its user friendly graphical interface with pre- and post-processing functionality provides a powerful numerical modeling environment. **MINEDW** is used at more than 50 mines throughout the world for mining-related applications in diverse hydrogeologic and climatic conditions. Developed from FEMFLOW3D, **MINEDW** was validated by Sandia National Laboratories in 1998. .. raw:: html
