Summary

An existing three-dimensional model (MODFLOW-2000) by Petkewich and Campbell (2007) (https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2007/5126/) was updated to simulate six predictive water-management scenarios that were created to simulate potential changes in groundwater flow and groundwater-level conditions in the Mount Pleasant, South Carolina area. The model was recalibrated to conditions from 1900 to 2015. Simulations included six scenarios: (1) maximize Mount Pleasant Waterworks reverse-osmosis plant capacity by increasing groundwater withdrawals from 3.9 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) in 2015 to 8.6 Mgal/d from the Middendorf aquifer; (2) same as Scenario 1, but with the addition of a 0.5 Mgal/d supply well in the Middendorf aquifer near Moncks [...]

Purpose

The model was recalibrated to simulate the effects of proposed water-managment scenarios in the Mount Pleasant, South Carolina well fields. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2017-5128 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175128).
