Abstract The three-dimensional groundwater flow model MODFLOW and the one-dimensional consolidation model are coupled and calibrated to simulate the piezometric levels and land subsidence in the complex multi-aquifer system of the lower Central Plain of Thailand. The mathematical models are calibrated against historical data for the period 1955–1990 by considerably updating the system conditions used by previous studies. The aquifer system responses to different pumping schemes are then predicted for the period 1991–2010. The modeling procedure is carried out in close consultation with the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR), Royal Thai Government. The conclusions of the study will allow the DMR to develop and implement updated groundwater management policies, land subsidence control strategies and action programs in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area.
