RIBASIM contains a groundwater simulation component, which computes the aquifer water balance considering the aquifer characteristics, the external inflows, groundwater recharge, groundwater abstractions and lateral flows. Further,

• Groundwater management options are available to simulate various measures.

• Conjunctive use of surface (river and reservoir) and groundwater can be modelled.  For irrigated agriculture the irrigation efficiency is differentiated based on the sources: surface water (river, reservoir) and groundwater.

• Pumping capacities are taken into account.
