Description
A soil-water balance model (SWB) was developed to estimate
potential recharge to the groundwater system in Brunswick, New
Hanover, and Pender counties North Carolina 1980 through 2016 to
support a regional groundwater flow model being produced for the
surficial, Castle Hayne, and Peedee Aquifer System. The SWB model
was not calibrated; however, various water budget components from
the model output compared reasonably well with other estimates
including evapotranspiration rates reported by NASA's MODIS
(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite platform.
This USGS data release contains all the input and output files for
the simulations described in this data release.
