Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), constructed a finite-difference numerical groundwater-flow model of the Boone and Roubidoux aquifers in northeastern Oklahoma by using MODFLOW-NWT (version 1.1.4) with the Newton formulation solver to simulate groundwater flow and account for the drying and rewetting of cells within the groundwater-flow model. The numerical groundwater-flow model was discretized into four layers consisting of 354 rows by 261 columns with a 2,000-feet by 2,000-feet cell size. The model layers were used to simulate the Western Interior Plains confining system, the Boone aquifer, the Ozark confining unit, and the Roubidoux aquifer. The model was temporally [...]

Purpose

This data release documents the input and output files for a numerical groundwater-flow model constructed to support the OWRB's determination of the maximum annual yield for the Boone and Roubidoux aquifers under different scenarios. The data files for three groundwater-availability scenarios are provided: (1) estimate equal-proportionate-share pumping rates, (2) quantify the potential effects of projected groundwater withdrawals on groundwater storage over a 50-year period, and (3) simulate the potential effects of a hypothetical 10-year drought. All input and output files for the groundwater-flow simulations are provided in this data release, including U.S. Geological Survey Groundwater Toolbox Rorabaugh method (RORA) and base-flow index (BFI) outputs, PEST++ (PESTPP) calibration, sensitivity analyses, and scenario outputs, and a soil-water-balance simulation, which is described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20245093).
