This dissertation deals with the use of the Princeton Transport Code groundwater flow model, to simulate groundwater flow in the Erdemli, Mersin, Turkey area. Erdemli is located in southern Turkey and is a coastal area, which has agricultural and tourist uses.For the correct simulation of the underground flow, the appropriate data processing was performed in order to insert them in the PTC model. Programs used for editing are Microsoft Excel and ArcGIS. The values were edited and sorted in Microsoft Excel for an easier data comprehension. ArcGIS was used to edit maps and present informational tables for input values to the model. In the present study 22 wells were imported to the PTC model, which include data on hydraulic heads and pumping rates, for the period 2003-2008. Then, the precipitation data for the respective years were entered into the model, as well as the altitude equivalents of the study area. Then, for the geology of the area, the hydraulic conductivity was introduced. Finally, the values of the northern and southern boundaries conditions were introduced and the model was calibrated.The elaboration of the present dissertation aims, through the modeling of the aquifer, to simulate the hydraulic heads of the aquifer as well as to capture the water flow.
