Increases in industrial and public \nwater supply needs have led to increased development of water resources within the Rush Springs \naquifer. As new areas within the aquifer are developed, increased water withdrawals may result in \ndecreases in available water resources and conflicts among water users. The Caddo Nation of \nOklahoma is concerned about permitted water transfers from the Rush Springs aquifer in Caddo \nCounty to areas outside of this aquifer. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with \nthe Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and Bureau of Indian Affairs, assessed four groundwater-withdrawal \nscenarios and their effects on the Rush Springs aquifer on the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma Tribal \njurisdictional area. For the previously published calibrated model, groundwater flow was simulated \nfrom 1979 through 2015. In this study, groundwater flow simulations were extended through 2035. \nThe period from 2016 through 2035 is referred to as the 20-year projections. The numerical model \ncontains one steady-state stress period, 444 monthly transient stress periods and 20 annual stress \nperiods. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations \ndescribed in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20225044).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P92DYE98", "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.02eb4b81-121f-46cb-9e8f-6b08481d5092.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_02eb4b81-121f-46cb-9e8f-6b08481d5092", "keyword": ["Blaine County", "Caddo County", "Canadian County", "Custer County", "Grady County", "MODFLOW-NWT", "Oklahoma", "USGS:02eb4b81-121f-46cb-9e8f-6b08481d5092", "Washita County", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "groundwater", "groundwater and surface-water interaction", "groundwater flow", "inlandWaters", "mathematical modeling", "usgsgroundwatermodel"], "modified": "2022-05-25T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-99.606, 34.599, -97.762, 36.437", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "MODFLOW-NWT model used to simulate the potential effects of out-of-basin transfers for the Rush Springs aquifer in the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma Tribal jurisdictional area, western Oklahoma"}
