Summary

A three-dimensional finite-difference model, MODFLOW-2005 (version 1.12.00), was developed to better understand how Seepage Meter efficiency changes when installed in sediments with wide range of conductivities. The hypothesis is that coarser sediments will allow a greater portion of upward-flow to flow around the meter instead of through it. The hypothetical model simulates upward flow through unconsolidated sediments in the Seepage Meter Calibration Tank operating at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, Colorado. Groundwater Vistas (version 7) was used for initial development of the hypothetical model and postprocessing. Executables and input files were then ported into this archive with public domain executables. The particle-tracking [...]

Purpose

MODFLOW-2005 (version 1.12.00) and MODPATH (version 5) were used to better understand the effect of insertion depth and permeability on Seepage Meter efficiency. This USGS data release contains all the executables, input and output files needed to reproduce the results presented in the section "Influence of Hydraulic Conductivity on Meter Efficiency" in the journal article (https://doi.org/10.3390/w12113267).
