The coastal waters of Long Island are important economic and recreational resources \nfor the region.  The coastal water bodies receive freshwater from inflow of both surface water and \ngroundwater, in addition to tidal exchanges of saltwater.  Excessive nitrogen inputs associated \nwith development and urbanization in the freshwater recharge areas to coastal water bodies can \nadversely affect marine and estuarine ecosystems.  The results from this study will be beneficial \nfor developing informed strategies to address nutrient loading to these systems, to provide a basis \nfor additional scientific studies, and to engage the public.  This is the first phase in the development \nof an updated groundwater-flow model for Long Island as part of the National Water Quality assessment \nProgram (NAWQA).  The study modified and used the model documented in the publication \n'Simulation of the effects of development of the ground-water flow system of Long Island, New York \nby Herbert T. Buxton and Douglas A. Smolensky (https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/wri984069).  \nThis data release contains all of the model input and output files for the simulations described in the \nassociated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20165138).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7TB151D", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.ece35a1f-fdcd-4e8f-99e1-9510b0e26c11.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_ece35a1f-fdcd-4e8f-99e1-9510b0e26c11", "keyword": ["Groundwater", "Groundwater Model", "InlandWaters", "Jameco aquifer", "Lloyd aquifer", "Long Island", "MODFLOW-2005", "MODPATH6", "Magothy aquifer", "New York", "USGS:ece35a1f-fdcd-4e8f-99e1-9510b0e26c11", "contributing area", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters", "particle tracking", "usgsgroundwatermodel"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-74.132998, 40.35693, -72.321289, 41.122556", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "MODFLOW-2005 and MODPATH6 models used to delineate areas contributing groundwater to selected surface receiving waters for long-term average hydrologic stress conditions from 1968 to 1983, Long Island, New York"}
