MODFLOW-2005 Groundwater Flow Model to Simulate Predevelopment Groundwater Flow in the Eastern Abu Dhabi Emirate, United Arab Emirates

Description

A numerical groundwater flow model using MODFLOW-2005 was developed to examine predevelopment groundwater flow in eastern Abu Dhabi Emirate, United Arab Emirates. The model was calibrated to conditions before the 1960s, the period before modern pumping began. The model was used to evaluate the regional water budget and 4 potential recharge scenarios. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185158). This data release also includes input and output data files for sensitivity and scenarios simulations, and MODFLOW-2015 source code.
