A water table fluctuation model simulated potential recharge rates from 2016 to 2018 for two agricultural sites in southeastern Minnesota. The model calculated potential recharge rates through the analysis of groundwater rises. A total of 42 piezometers were analyzed for this study using the water table fluctuation model. This methodology of calculating potential recharge rates was used as an independent method from two other methods: a soil-water-balance model (https://doi.org/10.5066/P90N4AWG), and DRAINMOD (https://doi.org/10.5066/P987N30U).

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in a partnership with ExxonMobil Corporation, developed an updated Lake Houston EFDC model for predicting water-surface elevation, residence time, water temperature, and salinity. With a focus on salinity and water-surface elevations, the updated model simulated conditions from 2009-2017 with additional flow to simulate the Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer under three different flow scenarios. One of the primary partnership goals was to understand the impact of the Luce Bayou Interbasin Transfer on salinity. The original model was developed and calibrated by using 2009 data and validated by using 2010 data, whereas the enhanced model (baseline model) of this project was calibrated...

A Groundwater Nitrate Decision Support Tool (GW-NDST) for wells in Wisconsin was developed to assist resource managers with assessing how legacy and possible future nitrate leaching rates, combined with groundwater lag times and potential denitrification, influence nitrate concentrations in wells (Juckem et al. 2024). Running and using the GW-NDST software involves downloading the software code (version 1.1.0) from the code repository (https://doi.org/10.5066/P13ETB4Q), downloading GIS data for the machine learning support models (child data release "GIS files required to run the Groundwater Nitrate Decision Support Tool for Wisconsin"), downloading the parameter uncertainty file (child data release "Parameter ensemble...

A soil-water balance model (SWB) was developed to estimate potential recharge and surface runoff for portions of the Cannon River drainage basin, southeast Minnesota, for the period 1995 through 2010. The model was used in the creation of Cannon River streamflow distribution maps, as part of the associated report, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 2017-3390 (http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/SIM20173390). This SWB model was calibrated using three independent hydrograph separation models: PART, Hysep-fixed, and Hysep-sliding method. The basic framework for this model was the statewide Minnesota SWB potential recharge model, described, calibrated, and documented as part of U.S. Geological Survey Scientific...

A previous soil-water balance (SWB) model [Smith and Westenbroek, 2015; http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/sir20155038) for Minnesota was updated to simulate potential recharge rates from 2014 to 2018. The previous model was developed to estimate mean annual potential recharge from 1995 to 2010. The updated model was also run with a newer version of the SWB model, also known as SWB version 2.0 {Westenbroek and others, 2018; https://doi.org/10.3133/tm6A59). The updated model was used to extract potential recharge rates for comparison to recharge rates calculated for two agricultural field sites in southeastern Minnesota, as part of the associated report, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2020-5006 (http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/sir20205006)....

A soil-water balance model (SWB) was developed to estimate potential recharge and surface runoff for portions of the St. Louis River drainage basin, northeast Minnesota, for the period 1995 through 2010. The model was used in the creation of St. Louis River streamflow distribution maps, as part of the associated report, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map 2017-3390 (http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/SIM20173390). This SWB model was calibrated using three independent hydrograph separation models: PART, Hysep-fixed, and Hysep-sliding method.

A soil-water balance model (SWB) was developed to estimate potential recharge to the Interstate 94 Corridor surficial aquifer, located in central Minnesota, for the period 2010 through 2014. The model was not calibrated; however, various water budget components from the model output compared reasonably well with other estimates. Furthermore, the model was based upon the statewide Minnesota SWB potential recharge model, described, calibrated, and documented as part of U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2015-5038 (http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/sir20155038). The model was used to estimate recharge to the surficial aquifer system as part of a preliminary water budget exercise described in the associated...

A hydrodynamic, water-temperature, and water-quality model (CE-QUAL-W2; Wells, 2020) of the Link-Keno reach of the Klamath River (Oregon) was used for calendar years 2006–15 to run a series of base and recirculation scenarios. These model runs were implemented to test alternative scenarios for routing some of the Klamath Straits Drain discharge into Ady Canal. The model scenarios were configured for baseline conditions and three different sets of recirculation scenarios, including the maximum year-round recirculation without discharge limits (scenario 1), limited year-round recirculation fixed by the current pipe flow configuration from Klamath Straits Drain into Ady Canal (scenario 2), and limited seasonal recirculation...
