Notes
| Files include: 1- PDF report documenting the model, results, and interpretations. Citation: Graf, D. J., & Hunt, B. B. (2024). Development of a steady-state numerical model, Hamilton Pool Segment of the Middle Trinity Aquifer, Western Travis County, Texas (Report UTA21-000073). Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at Austin. 2- Model Files Folder: (A) Base model: the final calibrated steady-state numerical flow model named "base_rch_1". Suffix indicating the percent of baseline or calibrated model recharge applied (1 = 100%). Additional models contain incrementally 20% less recharge from the calibrated (baseline) version. For example, "base_rch_0.6" is the calibrated model with only 60% of the baseline recharge. These are intended to simulate increasing levels of drought. (B)- Map files. Basemap files, such as property boundaries, used in Groundwater Vistas model. Not necessary to run the model, but gives geographic context of simulations. (C)- Scenarios: includes folders with models that contain four different steady-state modeling scenarios. (1) Demand forecast: the final calibrated numerical flow model with about 33% increase in pumping. (2) Nopump: includes the models without Mirasol pumping, with the suffix indicating the percent of average recharge applied (1 = 100%). (3) Mirasol: Calibrated model with proposed pumping from Mirasol included into baseline and varying levels of recharge. Suffix indicating the percent of baseline or calibrated model recharge applied (1 = 100%). (4) Injection test: Calibrated model with an added injection well for testing recharge enhancement. |
