Summary
This groundwater model archive documents a transient, regional-scale numerical model of the Long Island aquifer system that simulates hydrologic conditions for the period 1900-2019 using U.S. Geological Survey’s groundwater modeling software MODFLOW 6 (Hughes and others, 2017). The development and calibration of the numerical model is documented in Walter and others (2024). The model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the readme.txt. The model simulates historical water levels, stream flows, and the position of the saltwater interface in response to time-varying changes in pumping and recharge stresses for the period 1900-2019. This archive also contains input and output files for scenarios developed [...]

This archive also contains input and output files for scenarios developed to simulate hydrologic conditions at annual and seasonal time scales averaged for the period 2010-2019, a five-year drought, and sea level rise of 6 feet.

This transient groundwater flow model of the aquifer system of Long Island, New York was developed to evaluate responses of the hydrologic system and freshwater-saltwater interface to changes in natural and anthropogenic hydraulic stresses for the period 1900-2019, and potential future responses to changes in pumping and recharge. The model also provides the groundwater flow components used to define model boundaries for possible inset models used for local-scale analyses.
