ABSTRACT: As numerical modeling is an effective tool for managing groundwater resources and predicting future responses, in this study, the author has intended to assess groundwater flow through Modflow 6 and Model Muse into Pointe-Noire coastal aquifers. The results showed that the fourth scenario has the biggest effect on the drawdown and seawater intrusion extent. Different parameters including evapotranspiration, recharge, model boundary, etc. were adjusted to run the model. The fourth scenario with the highest pumping rate value caused a slight increase of head values over the values simulated.
