A three-dimensional, variable-density solute-transport model (SUTRA) was developed to evaluate the effects of nine selected withdrawal/recharge scenarios on salinity of groundwater and discharge of freshwater to the nearshore environment of central Molokaʻi, Hawaiʻi. The model was constructed using water-level and salinity data available for the period from 1940 to 2012. Groundwater recharge for the model was estimated using a daily water budget for the period of interest. Inflow of groundwater at the model boundaries was estimated from an islandwide model based on a sharp-interface approach (SHARP). The island-wide model is included as part of this data release. The data release also includes the SUTRA and SHARP...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
