Question
How do I create new FEFLOW Scenarios using the 'Well Manger' in MIKE Mine?
Answer
The “Well Manager” application provides users the possibility to create and run new FEFLOW scenarios. Newly created model scenarios can include the deletion of wells, adding new well locations or changing pumping rates of existing wells.
Example: “Changing the pumping rate of an existing well” - This example presents how to change the pumping rate of an existing well location.
#01 - Choose a base model
Under 'Base model' select the base model that you want to use.

#02 - Choose a reference scenario
Under “Reference scenario” select a reference scenario. The new scenario will be based on the configuration of the selected reference scenario. This could for example mean the same number of well locations and pumping rates.

#03 - Name the new scenario
Give the new scenario a name. Tip, use a plausible naming convention. The name could for example include the date.

#04 - Create Scenario
After naming the scenario the user can create the scenario by clicking on “Create Scenario”. The scenario will now be created, which can take a couple of seconds. After the scenario has been created, the scenario will appear in the map window, including the well locations. Furthermore, the table will be populated with the well configurations of the reference scenario.

#05 - Enable edit function of an existing well
In the “Edit wells” table click on the edit icon of a well location. The row will now be in edit mode.

#06 - Change the pumping rate
Go to “Rate (m3/d)” and change the pumping rate by simply entering another value, in this case from 6220.8 to 5000.

#07 - Save the edit
Save the edits by clicking on the check mark (Update Row).

#08 - Save Scenario
You can now save the scenario by clicking on “Save Scenario”.

Conclusion
A new scenario with a changed pumping rate of an existing well has been created. The new scenario can now be executed via the “Execute Model” tab.
