aquimodpy 1.0.1

Python wrapper for Aquimod 2

aquimodpy

A Python wrapper for the British Geological Survey's AquiMod 2, a lumped parameter groundwater model.

Features

• IDE Support: Full autocompletion and parameter validation in modern editors.
• Modular Design: Support for all Soil Zone (FAO, NSSS, SMAP), Unsaturated Zone (Weibull), and Saturated Zone (Q3K3S1, VKD, SA1D, etc.) components.
• Automated Configuration: Generates all required input files (Input.txt, Observations.txt, and component-specific parameter files) with correct Windows-style formatting for Wine compatibility.
• Simulation Modes: Full support for Evaluation, Monte Carlo calibration, and SCE-UA global optimization.
• Cross-Platform: Flexible execution support; specify your preferred command prefix (e.g., ["wine"], ["box86"]) for running the Windows binary on non-Windows systems.
• Data Integration: Seamless integration with Pandas for observation input and result parsing.

Quick Start

import pandas as pd
from aquimodpy import Model, FAO, Weibull, Q3K3S1, Observations, EvaluationRunner

# 1. Initialize the model
model = Model(
    model_name="MySimulation",
    executable_path="~/Documents/AquiMod2/AquiMod2.exe",
    working_directory="./simulation_results",
    exec_prefix=["wine"]  # Use ["wine"] for Linux or [] for native Windows
)

# 2. Add components using named arguments
# Units and special characters are handled automatically!
FAO(
    model,
    theta_fc=0.4,
    theta_wp=0.1,
    Z_r=1000,
    p=0.5,
    BFI=0.8
)

Weibull(
    model,
    k=2.0,
    lambda_=5.0 # Use lambda_ as 'lambda' is a Python keyword
)

Q3K3S1(
    model,
    dx=1000,
    K3=10,
    K2=5,
    K1=1,
    S=0.01,
    z3=50,
    z2=40,
    z1=30,
    alpha=1
)

# 3. Add observations and map column names
df = pd.read_csv("my_data.csv")
Observations(model, df, {
    "DATE": "date_col",
    "RAIN": "rainfall_mm",
    "PET": "pet_mm",
    "GWL": "gw_level_m"
})

# 4. Configure and run
model.set_runner(EvaluationRunner(model))
model.setup()
model.run()

# 5. Analyze results
results = model.get_results()
print(results['Sat'].head())

Calibration and Optimization

Monte Carlo Calibration

Provide [min, max] lists for parameters you wish to calibrate.

from aquimodpy import CalibrationRunner
model.set_runner(CalibrationRunner(model))
model.set_simulation_mode('m', n_runs=10000, threshold=0.5, variable='g')

# Calibrate Z_r and BFI, keep others fixed
FAO(
    model,
    theta_fc=0.35,
    theta_wp=0.1,
    Z_r=[500, 3000],
    p=0.5,
    BFI=[0.1, 0.99]
)

SCE-UA Optimization

model.set_simulation_mode('s', n_loops=100, n_complexes=50, variable='g')
