Application of a parameter-estimation technique to modeling the regional aquifer underlying the eastern Snake River plain, Idaho
Stephen P. Garabedian
1986, Water Supply Paper 2278
A nonlinear, least-squares regression technique for the estimation of ground-water flow model parameters was applied to the regional aquifer underlying the eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho. The technique uses a computer program to simulate two-dimensional, steady-state ground-water flow. Hydrologic data for the 1980 water year were used to calculate recharge...
