The model was calibrated to conditions \nfrom 1970 to 2012, the period for which data are most complete and reliable, and was used to \nsimulate historical conditions from 1950 to 2012. The model was used to (1) evaluate the sensitivity \nof the salinity distribution in groundwater to sea-level rise and groundwater pumping , and (2) simulate \nthe potential effects of increases in pumping, variable rates of sea-level rise, movement of a salinity \ncontrol structure, and use of drainage recharge wells on the future distribution of salinity in the aquifer. \nThis USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the \nassociated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20165022). This data release \nalso includes (1) preprocessing python scripts and associated input data files for creating the sensitivity \nand scenarios runs, (2) flopy source code, and (3) SEAWAT (v4) source code.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F7PV6HFR", "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.41273e3a-f3e3-416b-acb9-fe65fe86bdb4.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_41273e3a-f3e3-416b-acb9-fe65fe86bdb4", "keyword": ["Biscayne aquifer", "Broward County", "Florida", "Fort Lauderdale", "Groundwater", "Groundwater Model", "InlandWaters", "SEAWAT", "Saltwater Intrusion", "Transport Model", "USGS:41273e3a-f3e3-416b-acb9-fe65fe86bdb4", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters", "usgsgroundwatermodel"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-80.78, 25.919, -80.018, 26.487", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "SEAWAT model used to evaluate the potential effects of alterations to the hydrologic system on the distribution of salinity in the Biscayne aquifer in Broward County, Florida: U.S. Geological Survey Data Release"}
