The model was recalibrated to conditions from \n1900 to 2015. Simulations included six scenarios: \n\t\t\n(1) maximize Mount Pleasant Waterworks \nreverse-osmosis plant capacity by increasing groundwater withdrawals from 3.9 million gallons per day \n(Mgal/d) in 2015 to 8.6 Mgal/d from the Middendorf aquifer; \n\t\t\n(2) same as Scenario 1, but with the addition \nof a 0.5 Mgal/d supply well in the Middendorf aquifer near Moncks Corner, SC;\n\t\t \n(3) same as Scenario 1, \nbut with the addition of a 1.5 Mgal/d supply well in the Middendorf aquifer near Moncks Corner, SC; \n\t\t\n(4) maximize Mount Pleasant Waterworks well capacity by increasing withdrawals from the Middendorf \naquifer from 3.9 Mgal/d in 2015 to 10.2 Mgal/d \n\t\t\n(5) minimizing Mount Pleasant Waterworks surface-water \npurchase from the Charleston Water System by adding supply wells and increasing withdrawals from the \nMiddendorf aquifer from 3.9 Mgal/d in 2015 to 12.2 Mgal/d; and \n\t\t\n(6) same as Scenario 1, but with the addition \nof quarterly model stress periods to simulate seasonal variations in the groundwater withdrawals.
