Four pumping scenarios were simulated, including a base case \nand scenarios A, B, and C. Scenarios were simulated from 1913 to 2120, with historical \npumping occurring from 1913 to 2010, historical 2010 pumping rates projected from \n2010 to 2020, and scenario pumping beginning in 2020. The base case projected 2010 \npumping rates from 2010 to 2120, and scenarios A, B, and C projected base case \npumping plus additional pumping at various locations from 2020 to 2120. Input and \noutput files for the predictive simulations are in the model and output directories, \nrespectively.
