Abstract

In 2010–2012, scientists of Riga Technical
University have developed the hydrogeological model of Latvia
(LAMO). In 2013, the first practical results have been provided
by LAMO. The set of hydrogeological maps and groundwater
flow balances has been prepared to update the current water
management plan for the Gauja River basin district in Latvia.
For aquifers, distributions of groundwater heads and infiltration
flows have been prepared. In the maps of heads, directions of
groundwater flows and connections of aquifers with rivers are
shown. A set of geological profiles has been prepared. A profile
represents geological stratigraphy, isolines of groundwater head
and directions of groundwater flows. Groundwater flow balances
have been prepared for the whole territory of Latvia and for the
Gauja River basin district.
