N2 - The groundwater model presented in this report was developed in collaboration with the Punjab Irrigation Department (PID) for Southern Bari Doab in Punjab, which is part of the Southern Indus Basin. Four major districts, Multan, Khanewal, Vehari, and Lodhran, cover an area of 11,348 km2. Three major irrigation canals, Sidhnai/Pakpattan Lower, Mailsi, and the Sidhnai Mailsi Link Canal, as well as several branch canals, are part of the irrigation network in the area. To evaluate the spatio-temporal impact of different hydrological components on groundwater levels in the study area, a regional groundwater model (MODFLOW) was developed. Different hydrogeological factors, such as seepage from rivers and canals, recharge from rainfall and field application losses, evapotranspiration, groundwater pumping, and aquifer lithology were incorporated to evaluate the groundwater dynamics of the aquifer. The groundwater model was developed for ten years from October 2010 to September 2020 for 120 monthly stress periods.
