MODFLOW 2005 data sets for the simulation of potential increased inundation in flood-prone regions of Southeast Florida in response to climate and sea-level changes in Broward County, Florida, 2060-69

Two transient surface-water/groundwater models were developed to study the potential for increased inundation and flooding in eastern Broward County due to changes in future climate and sea-level rise. These models were constructed by using a modified version of MODFLOW 2005, with the surface-water system represented by using the surface-water routing process (SWR1) and a new Urban Runoff (URO) process. The models were used to simulate an historical period (1990-99) using measured input data and a base-case (1990–99) and a future period (2060–69) using regional climate model rainfall and potential evapotranspiration output. Model construction relied heavily on a previously created variable density model of the same study area. This [...]
