FTLOADDS (combined SWIFT2D surface-water model and SEAWAT groundwater model) simulator used to assess proposed sea-level rise response and water-resource management plans for the hydrologic system of the South Florida Peninsula for the Biscayne and Southern Everglades Coastal Transport (BISECT) Model

The Biscayne and Southern Everglades Coastal Transport(BISECT) model combines a three-dimensional groundwater model with a two- dimensional hydrodynamic surface-water model with variable-density solute-transport. BISECT was constructed by combining two existing models, Tides and Inflows to the Mangrove Everglades (TIME) (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20075010), and Biscayne (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20125099), and modifying the Flow and Transport in a Linked Overland/Aquifer Density-Dependent System (FTLOADDS) simulator (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2005.04.015) to include spatially variations in the solar radiation reflected back into the atmosphere from the Earth’s surface (albedo) to improve model results.
