operating systems.
Benefits/Savings
GMS integrates and simplifies the process of groundwater flow and transport modeling by
bringing together all of the tools needed to complete a successful study. GMS provides a
comprehensive graphical environment for numerical modeling and tools for site charac-
terization, model conceptualization, mesh and grid generation, geostatistics, graphical
visualization, and remedial alternative evaluation. Using GMS can save time and money,
as much as 20 percent on overall project remediation costs.
Status
GMS is available for both PC and UNIX-based operating systems. It is compatible with
