Summary

A three-dimensional, groundwater flow model (MODFLOW-NWT) was developed to examine groundwater storage changes in the Quincy Basin, Washington. The model was calibrated to conditions from 1920 to 2013. The model was used to (1) determine the change in groundwater storage from 1920 to 2013 , and (2) simulate the potential effects of increases in pumping, decrease in irrigation recharge, and increases in streamflow in Crab Creek by 100 cubic feet per second and 500 cubic feet per second. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185162).

Purpose

This groundwater model was developed to evaluate changes in groundwater storage in the Quincy Basin, Washington. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2018-5162 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185162).
