MODFLOW-2005 and PEST models used to simulate multiple-well aquifer tests and characterize hydraulic properties of volcanic rocks in Pahute Mesa, Nevada

Metadata Updated: November 30, 2024

A three-dimensional, groundwater-flow model (MODFLOW-2005) was developed to estimate the hydraulic properties (e.g., transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity, specific yield, and specific storage) of volcanic rocks in Pahute Mesa, Nye County, Nevada. The model was calibrated using parameter estimation (PEST) by fitting estimated drawdowns to simulated drawdowns from 16 multiple-well aquifer tests. Water-level models were used to estimate drawdowns from continuous water-level data collected during multiple-well aquifer testing. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (http://doi.org/10.3133/sir20165151). This data release also includes (1) preprocessing Microsoft Excel macros, FORTRAN executables, and associated input data files for creating the groundwater-flow models; and (2) post-processing FORTRAN executables for generating model output files.
