An existing three-dimensional groundwater flow model of northern Utah County (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20095049), was updated for use with the Groundwater Management Process(GWM) for MODFLOW-2005, to evaluate the optimal managed aquifer recharge scenarios with the objective of maintaining acceptable reductions in simulated discharge at 12 groundwater discharge areas along Utah Lake. Groundwater is a primary source of drinking water in northern Utah County. By 2066, the amount of groundwater withdrawn is estimated to be roughly 65 percent of annual average recharge. To prepare for anticipated future increases in groundwater withdrawals, local cities have identified 16 locations as feasible for managed aquifer recharge....
