CODESA-3D, or COupled DEnsity-dependent variably SAturated flow and miscible transport, is an EUMedGrid application that models water movement in aquifers.

This three-dimensional simulator can help hydrologists calculate how much fresh water can be pumped from costal aquifers before risking salt water contamination.

EUMedGrid aims to create a grid infrastructure for research in the Mediterranean region.
