Misut, P.E., 2021, MODFLOW-NWT and MODPATH6 Used to Delineate Areas Contributing Groundwater and Travel Times to Receiving Waters in Kings, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk Counties, New York: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9DKILJY.

Summary

A previously developed three-dimensional steady-state groundwater flow model (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205091) is used to assist resource managers and planners in developing informed strategies to address nitrogen loading to coastal water bodies of Long Island, New York. Coastal water bodies of Long Island are important economic and recreational resources for the region. Therefore, the U.S. Geological Survey and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation initiated a program to delineate a comprehensive dataset of CAs (or areas contributing groundwater), travel times, and groundwater discharges to streams, lakes, marine-surface waters, and subsea discharge boundaries. The 25-layer regional groundwater-flow model of [...]

Purpose

The previously developed groundwater flow model (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205091) was used for particle-tracking analysis to delineate CAs and travel times, differentiate outflow to saline-water bodies from that to freshwater bodies, and calculate groundwater outflows to each individual surface-water body. This information is essential for developing informed strategies to address nitrogen loading to these systems, to provide the basis for further scientific study, and to engage the public. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021-5047 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215047).
