This model was originally developed in 2007, by Petkewich and Campbell \n(https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/sir20075126), then updated and recalibrated to conditions \nfrom 1900 to 2015.  Results of six previous scenario simulations (scenarios 1-6) for the Mount \nPleasant Water Works are published in a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Scientific Investigations \nReport (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175128).  The archived model input and output files are available \nin a USGS data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/F7S181FC). \n\t\t\nSeven additional MODFLOW-2000 scenarios (numbered 7-13), using this updated and recalibrated \nmodel, were developed to evaluate different withdrawal strategies which are included in this data \nrelease: (7) Mount Pleasant Waterworks bringing online a new well (located at the old well 5 location) \nat 3.51 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) in 2025; (8) Maximizing withdrawals from Mount Pleasant \nWaterworks wells 2 and 5 (3.51 Mgal/d each) in 2020 and 2025, respectively; (9) Same as Scenario \n7, but removing well 3 from production in 2025; (10) Same as Scenario 9, but removing well 4 from \nproduction in 2025 (11) Same as Scenario 7, but converting well 3 to an injection well in 2025 (12) \nSame as Scenario 11, but converting well 4 to an injection well in 2030; and (13) Same as scenario \n8, but with two injection wells added (one in 2025 and one in 2035) to Mount Pleasant Waterworks \nwell field. Nine alternate simulations for scenarios 11-13 (three MODFLOW and six MODPATH) \nwere done to evaluate the effects of different porosity on the groundwater flow system, water levels, \nand the time-of-travel of particles from injection wells to the main water source.  This USGS data \nrelease contains all the input and output files for the simulations described above and in the \nreadme.txt file of this data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9GZEE4E).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9GZEE4E", "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.6ba49343-2436-45ea-b0d8-ec6f7d84577b.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_6ba49343-2436-45ea-b0d8-ec6f7d84577b", "keyword": ["Charleston County", "Groundwater", "Groundwater Model", "InlandWaters", "MODFLOW-2000", "MODPATH", "Middendorf aquifer", "Mount Pleasant", "South Carolina", "USGS:6ba49343-2436-45ea-b0d8-ec6f7d84577b", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters", "usgsgroundwatermodel"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-83.786434, 29.923548, -76.289479, 35.881171", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "MODFLOW-2000 and MODPATH model data sets used in scenarios of groundwater flow and pumping (1900-2500) near Mount Pleasant, South Carolina"}
