The version of the GWE Model described here offers four advanced stress packages, each of which is analogous and functions similarly to an advanced package in the GWT Model: Lake Energy Transport (LKE), Multi-Aquifer Well Energy Transport (MWE), Streamflow Energy Transport (SFE), and Unsaturated Zone Energy Transport (UZE). The GWE advanced stress packages will not be described in detail here except to note differences from the corresponding GWT packages. The primary difference, of course, is that GWE advanced stress packages explicitly simulate thermal energy transport within their respective features, not solute mass. Optionally, the SSM package may be used to represent the effects of thermal energy exchange between an advanced transport package and the subsurface for cases where the temperature of the feature is known.
