Summary
A soil-water balance model (SWB) was developed to estimate recharge to the groundwater flow system in Florida and parts of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina for the period 1995 through 2010. The model was not calibrated; however, various water budget components from the model output compared reasonably well with other estimates. The model was used to estimate recharge to the groundwater flow system as part of a preliminary water budget exercise described in the associated report (http://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185030).

This model was created to estimate recharge to the groundwater flow system in Florida and parts of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2018-5030 (http://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185030).
