	AquiMod consists of three modules (Figure 1). The first is a soil water balance module that partitions rainfall between evapotranspiration, runoff and soil drainage. This module simulates the water balance of the root zone, therefore soil drainage is defined as the water that percolates past the root zone and is no longer available for evapotranspiration. Drainage from the soil is then attenuated through an unsaturated zone module which represents percolation to the groundwater table as recharge. This recharge is input to the saturated zone module that simulates aquifer storage and subsequent discharge. It is the saturated zone module that calculates the groundwater level time-series.

	AquiMod can be applied to any groundwater catchment around an observation borehole with observed groundwater level time-series data. It can be calibrated against these data and used to provide information on the behaviour of groundwater levels beyond observational records. The model has been used in this way for a number of applications, including reconstructing groundwater level records, long term projections of groundwater levels under climate change and forecasting groundwater levels into the near future using meteorological forecasts. Of course, this list of applications is not absolute and users are encouraged to experiment with the software. However, it is important to consider the limitations of the AquiMod when deciding if it is suitable for your intended use. Please refer to a summary of these limitations in (Table 1).

 AquiMod is a lumped parameter computer model that has been developed to simulate groundwater level time-series at observation boreholes in aquifers by linking simple hydrological algorithms that model soil drainage, the transfer of water through the unsaturated zone and groundwater flow.
