Summary

A hydro-economic model was developed by coupling a three-dimensional groundwater flow model of the Harney Basin, southeastern Oregon (using MODFLOW 6) with a hedonic agricultural economic model. The hydro-economic model was used to investigate a set of hypothetical future scenarios having different groundwater pumpage conditions. The model looked at conditions 30 years beyond the 2018 conditions at the end of the HBGM transient simulation. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files and needed Python scripts and JuPyter Notebooks for the simulations described in the associated journal article (https://doi.org/10.1029/2024WRXXXX)

Purpose

The Harney Basin Groundwater Model (HBGM) was coupled with an economic model and used to evaluate estimated future changes in groundwater-level altitudes and subsequent agricultural costs. The model focuses on the lowlands of the Harney Basin, southeastern Oregon. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the journal publication: Jaeger, W.K., Antle, J., Gingerich, S.B., and Bigelow, D.P., 2024, Gauging sustainable groundwater management with a hydro-economic system model: investigations in the Harney Basin, Oregon, Water Resources Research v. XX, n. XX
