Data Release: Lampe, D.C., 2017, MODFLOW-NWT model used to evaluate potential effects of alterations to the hydrologic system in the vicinity of Long Lake, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, near Gary, Indiana: U.S. Geological Survey data release https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7D21VS2 Publication: Lampe, D.C., and Bayless, E.R., 2013, Hydrologic data and groundwater flow simulations in the vicinity of Long Lake, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, near Gary, Indiana: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2012-5003, 96 p. http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5003. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIR2013-5003/ Description: ----------- The underlying directories contain all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the report, MODFLOW-NWT (v 1.0.2) source code, MODPATH (v 5), UCODE 2005, and ZONEBUDGET (v 3.01) source code. Descriptions of the data in each subdirectory are given to facilitate understanding of this data release. Files descriptions are provided for select files to provide additional information that may be of use for understanding this data release. Support is provided for correcting errors in the data release and clarification of the modeling conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey. Users are encouraged to review the model documentation report (http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2013/5003) to understand the purpose, construction, and limitations of this model. Reconstructing the data release from the online data release: ------------------------------------------------------------- This data release is available from: https://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7D21VS2 The models, along with post-processing tools, will run successfully only if the original directory structure is correctly restored. The data release is broken into several pieces to reduce the likelihood of download timeouts. Small files (readme.txt and modelgeoref.txt) are available as uncompressed files. All other files are zipped at the subdirectory level. For example, the files in the "georef" subdirectory are zipped into a zip file named "georef.zip". All zip files should be unzipped into a directory with the same name as the zip file name without the .zip extension. All zip files starting with "model" should be unzipped in the same manner as the other zip files but should be placed within a "model" subdirectory created at the same level as the "georef" subdirectory. Similarly, the zip files with names starting with "output" should be unzipped in the same manner as other zip files but should be placed within a "output" subdirectory created at the same level as the "georef" subdirectory created from "georef.zip". The highest-level directory structure of the original data release is: SIR2013_5003/ ancillary/ bin/ georef/ model/ output/ source/ The full directory structure of the data release and the zip files associated with each subdirectory are listed below. System requirements: -------------------- The models contained in this data release were run using the MODFLOW-NWT_64.exe executable in the bin zip file in this data release. The models requires approximately 60 MB of available Random Access Memory (RAM). Running the model(s): --------------------- The simulations can be run by opening a command line/terminal in the model directory of interest and typing: ../../bin/MODFLOW-NWT_64.exe model.nam For example, the 2002 calibration simulation can be run by opening a terminal in the model/2002MF_calibr_dry/ subdirectory and typing ../../bin/MODFLOW-NWT_64.exe longc_calibration_NWT.nam to run the 2002 calibration simulation. The other simulations can be run in a similar fashion by replacing "longc_calibration_NWT.nam" with the appropriate scenario simulation MODFLOW-NWT name files and running from the appropriate subdirectory in the model/ subdirectory (for example, run the 2002 high Lake Michigan scenario (longc_high_LM_level.nam) from the model/2002MF_high_LM_level/ subdirectory). Possible name files are: File name Description -------------- -------------------- longc_deepen_ditch.nam 2002 deepening of County Line Road Ditch longc_high_LM_level.nam 2002 increase of Lake Michigan to historical high water level longc_low_LM_level.nam 2002 decrease of Lake Michigan to historical low water level longc_ no_pond.nam 2002 discontinued used of filtration pond longc_weir_up_2.nam 2002 increase in elevation of US12 ditch weir plate by 2 feet longc_weir_up_4.nam 2002 increase in elevation of US12 ditch weir plate by 4 feet longc_no_ditch.nam 2002 discontinued discharge of US12 ditch to Gary Sanitary District sewer longd.nam 2011 wet-weather hydrologic condition longd_connect_ELL_WLL.nam 2011 connection of East and West Long Lake longd_deepened_ditch.nam 2011 deepening of County Line Road Ditch longd_high_LM_level.nam 2011 increase of Lake Michigan to historical high water level longd_low_LM_level.nam 2011 decrease of Lake Michigan to historical low water level longd_no_beaver_dams.nam 2011 removal of beaver dams from US12 ditch longd_weir_up_1.nam 2011 increase in elevation of US12 ditch weir plate by 1 foot longd_weir_up_2.nam 2011 increase in elevation of US12 ditch weir plate by 2 feet longd_no_ditch.nam 2011 discontinued discharge of US12 ditch to Gary Sanitary District sewer The output from the calibration and scenario simulations all have the same name and are created in the directory the model is executed from. Output files are provided in this archive in the appropriate output directory. For example, 2002 calibration model results are located in the output/OUTPUT.2002MF_calibr_dry directory. ZONEBUDGET can be run by opening a command line/terminal in the ancillary and model directory of interest and typing: RunZoneBudget.bat ZONEBUDGET output is created in the directory the model is executed from. Output files are provided in this archive in the appropriate output directory. For example, ZONEBUDGET results for 2002 calibration model results are located in the ancillary/ZONEBUDGET_2002/OUTPUT directory. MODPATH can be run by opening a command line/terminal in the directory containing the desired MODPATH model (for example: model/2002MODPATH) and typing: ../../bin/Mpathr5_0.exe When requested, type the full name of the .mpm file (example: longc_calibration_NWT.mpm) for the model. The analysis will run and, when completed, the output files will appear in the same directory.Output files are provided in this archive in the appropriate output directory. For example, MODPATH results for 2002 calibration model results are located in the output/OUTPUT.2002MODPATH directory. To replicate the results of the sensitivity analysis, open a command line/terminal in the model/2002MF_sensitivity directory and typing ../../bin/ucode_2005.exe Default_Ucode_main.in longc_sensitivity Default_Ucode_pred_out The output from the sensitivity simulation will have the same name and are created in the directory the model is executed from. Output files are provided in this archive in the OUTPUT.2002MF_sensitivity directory.
