Summary

In cooperation with the U.S. Navy, USGS developed and calibrated a numerical MODFLOW 6 model to simulate regional groundwater flow under selected conditions during 1999-2017 at and near the former Willow Grove Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Horsham, Montgomery County and the former Naval Air Warfare Center Warminster in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The model simulations provide information on regional groundwater-flow paths and groundwater/surface-water exchanges, in relation to changes in water supply pumping and recharge rates. Groundwater flow paths were simulated using MODPATH 7 from possible PFAS sources at the former bases under steady-state conditions for years 1999, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2017. This USGS data release [...]

Purpose

This groundwater model was created to evaluate Groundwater Withdrawals and Regional Flow Paths at and near Willow Grove and Warminster, Pennsylvania for Conditions in 1999, 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2017. The model simulations provide information on regional groundwater-flow paths and groundwater/surface-water exchanges, in relation to changes in water supply pumping and recharge rates. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2019-1137 (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191137).
