MODFLOW-NWT model used to evaluate the potential effect of groundwater pumpage and increased sea level on canal leakage and regional groundwater flow in Miami-Dade County, Florida
Description
A three-dimensional, surface-water/groundwater model (MODFLOW-NWT with the Surface-Water
Routing Process) was developed to the predict the effects of groundwater pumpage on canal
leakage and regional groundwater flow in urban portions of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The
model was calibrated by using observation data collected from 1997 through 2004. The model
calibration was verified using observation data collected from 2005 through 2010. The model is
designed to simulate surface-water stage and discharge in the managed canal system and
dynamic canal leakage to the Biscayne aquifer as well as seepage to the canal from the
aquifer. The model was used to evaluate the effect of increased groundwater pumpage and
(or) increased sea level on canal leakage, regional groundwater flow, and the position of the
freshwater-seawater interface. 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/sir20145162). This data release also includes
(1) postprocessing python scripts,
(2) python source code used by pre-processing scripts,
(3) MODFLOW-NWT (v 1.0.8) source code with the General Finite Difference (GFD) boundary
package, and (4) ZONEBUDGET (v 3.01) source code.
