Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District and Fort Bend Subsidence District, constructed a finite-difference numerical groundwater-flow model of the northern Gulf Coast aquifer region for 1897 through 2018 using MODFLOW 6 with the Newton formulation solver to simulate groundwater flow and land-surface subsidence. Model parameter estimation and uncertainty analysis were conducted with PEST++ Iterative Ensemble Smoother software. The simulated results are described in the associated U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1877. The model archive provided in this U.S. Geological Survey data release includes all the necessary files to run the MODFLOW 6 model and process the results [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this data release is to document a finite-difference numerical groundwater-flow model (hereinafter referred to as “the GULF model”) and ensemble used to simulate historical land-surface subsidence and groundwater-level changes in the northern Gulf Coast aquifer region for 1897 through 2018. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1877 (https://doi.org/10.3133/pp1877).
