A transient model was \nused to simulate conditions that represent no groundwater withdrawals, 2000\u20132003 groundwater withdrawals, \nand maximum-allocation groundwater withdrawals. Particle-tracking analysis, using results from two \nsteady-state simulations, determine flow paths and travel times to near-shore wells screened in the \nunconfined Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system, the Rio Grande water-bearing zone, and the Atlantic \nCity 800-foot sand. Sources of water to wells in both unconfined and confined aquifers and travel times \nbased on particle-tracking analysis are used to assess the susceptibility of selected wells to saltwater \nintrusion from bay or ocean water.
