    • Statistical and groundwater-flow models of the Fountain Creek alluvial aquifer near Colorado Springs, Colorado

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    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 periods from 2000 to 2019. This USGS data release includes all the necessary files to simulate the Fountain Creek alluvial aquifer and potential flow paths within it as described in the associated USGS Scientific Investigations Report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235119).
