Fisher, J.C., Bartolino, J.R., Wylie, A.H., Sukow, J., and McVay, M., 2016, MODFLOW-USG model of groundwater flow in the Wood River Valley aquifer system in Blaine County, Idaho: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F7C827DT.

Summary

A three-dimensional numerical groundwater flow model (MODFLOW-USG) was developed for the Wood River Valley (WRV) aquifer system, south-central Idaho, to evaluate groundwater and surface-water availability at the regional scale. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation Idaho Department of Water Resources, used the transient groundwater flow model to simulate historical hydraulic head conditions from 1995 to 2010. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulation described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20165080).

Purpose

This groundwater model was created to advance the basic understanding of the Wood River Valley aquifer system, Idaho. Ultimately the model could be used to examine human development and climatic effects on the groundwater system and its interaction with the Big Wood River caused by changes in water use and groundwater recharge and discharge. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2016-5080 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20165080).
