Riddle, A.D., 2021, MODFLOW 6 and MODPATH 7 model data sets used for the update of the groundwater-flow model for the Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer in the vicinity of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9FN1JK4.

Summary

A previously constructed numerical model (https://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/2007/1737a/) simulating the regional groundwater-flow system in the vicinity of the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) near Dayton, Ohio, was updated to incorporate current hydrologic stresses and conditions and improve the usefulness of the model for water-supply planning and protection. The Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer was designated a sole-source aquifer in 1988 and provides the supply for the substantial water use needs in the Dayton area. Hydrogeologic investigations of groundwater flow in the nearby WPAFB have been ongoing since the early 1990s, when the USGS first partnered with WPAFB to model groundwater flow near the Base in an effort to identify [...]

Purpose

This groundwater model was created to simulate groundwater contributing areas for select groundwater discharge sites near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021-5115 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215115).
