Model modifications for simulation of flow through stratified rocks in eastern Ohio
A quasi three-dimensional groundwater flow model is being used as part of a study to determine impacts of coal-strip mining on local hydrologic systems. Modifications to the model were necessary to simulate local hydrologic conditions properly. Perched water tables required that the method of calculating vertical flow rate be changed. A head-dependent spring-discharge function and a head-dependent stream aquifer-interchange function were added to the program. Modifications were also made to allow recharge from precipitation to any layer. The modified program, data deck instructions, and sample input and output are presented. (USGS)
