Summary

A previously developed three-dimensional groundwater flow model (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20125183) of the three primary aquifers in the region north of Aberdeen, South Dakota, was revised to assist the City of Aberdeen with water-resource planning. The principal aquifers are the Elm, Middle James, and Deep James. The numerical model is intended to be used to (1) simulate hydrologic scenarios of interest to groundwater managers and to advance the understanding of groundwater budgets and components including recharge, discharge, and aquifer storage, (2) compute historical and projected system response to natural and anthropogenic stresses, and (3) evaluate potential withdrawal scenarios to assist with water-management decisions. The [...]

Purpose

This groundwater model was created to assess groundwater availability and to increase hydrogeologic understanding of the three principal aquifers north of Aberdeen, South Dakota, for water-resource planning. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2018-5137 (http://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185137).
