Leaf, A.T. and Haserodt, M.J., 2020, MODFLOW-NWT and MODPATH models, data from aquifer tests and temperature profilers, and groundwater flux estimates used to assess groundwater/surface-water interactions in Haskell Lake, Wisconsin: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9ZQGGHY.
Summary
A MODFLOW-NWT model was used to simulate the water budget for Haskell Lake and Tower Creek in WI using the Lake, Streamflow Routing, and Unsaturated Zone Flow packages. Particle tracking was performed with the MODFLOW solution (using MODPATH 6). This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205024).

The purpose of the MODFLOW-NWT model was to estimate groundwater flux through a petroleum contamination plume, as well as estimate the contributing area (groundwatershed) for the lake/creek system. 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 2020-5024 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20205024)
