Heuristic MODFLOW models used to evaluate the effects of pumping groundwater from confined aquifers overlain by till confining units
Description
This groundwater-flow model archive contains heuristic model simulations
evaluating the sustainability of groundwater withdrawals from public-water-supply
wells on buried glacial aquifers. A total of 40 steady-state simulations and three
transient simulations were run. The steady-state simulations were developed to
assess the extent and connections between buried sand aquifers by varying
three hydraulic or dimensional properties of the buried aquifer or overlying tills
over a range of values observed in field sites near the cities of Akeley, Cromwell,
Litchfield, and Olivia, Minnesota.
