The original steady-state model simulates and was calibrated to 2009 \nconditions and was used as the first stress period in this transient model. Six transient stress periods, \nspanning 2010-2114, were added to the model to assess timing of the potential withdrawal effects. A \nseventh steady-state stress period was also added to determine the ultimate long-term effects of the well \nwithdrawals. To investigate the potential effects of existing and proposed future groundwater withdrawals, \n10 withdrawal scenarios were run. All scenarios were run at 5, 10, 15, 30, 55, and 105 years from the start \nof 2010; additionally, all scenarios were run to a new steady state to determine the ultimate long-term effects \nof the withdrawals. Capture maps run to the new steady state were also constructed as part of this analysis. \nThis USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated \nmodel documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20171026).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/F72N50D2", "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.1cb7cd29-33c6-47be-9c47-615da57b7e04.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_1cb7cd29-33c6-47be-9c47-615da57b7e04", "keyword": ["Beaver County", "Great Basin carbonate and alluvial aquifer system", "Groundwater", "Groundwater Model", "Groundwater and surface-water interaction", "InlandWaters", "Juab County", "Lincoln County", "MODFLOW2000", "Millard County", "Nevada", "Tooele County", "USGS:1cb7cd29-33c6-47be-9c47-615da57b7e04", "Utah", "White Pine County", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters", "usgsgroundwatermodel"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-114.52029, 37.93745, -112.85240, 40.16712", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "MODFLOW-2000 model used to evaluate potential effects of existing and proposed groundwater withdrawals on water levels and natural groundwater discharge in Snake Valley and surrounding areas, Utah and Nevada"}
