Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Air Force Civil Engineering Center, created a numerical groundwater-flow model for the Fountain Creek alluvial aquifer using the finite-difference MODFLOW code with the Newton formulation solver. This numerical groundwater-flow model simulates water-budget components, groundwater-flow directions, and groundwater-flow paths of the Fountain Creek alluvial aquifer. The numerical model was spatially discretized into a single layer with 291 rows and 254 columns of 200 by 200 feet size, and a total of 17,610 active cell. The numerical model was temporally discretized into 1 initial steady-state stress period representing the average conditions of the 240 monthly transient stress [...]

Purpose

This groundwater model was created to 1) simulate water-budget components, 2) simulate potential groundwater-flow directions, and 3) simulate groundwater-flow paths for potential solutes of concern within the Fountain Creek alluvial aquifer system. This U.S. Geological Survey data release includes all of the necessary files to simulate the Fountain Creek alluvial aquifer and potential flow paths within it as described in the associated scientific investigations report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235119).
