Digital models of ground-water flow in the Cape Cod aquifer system, Massachusetts
John H. Guswa, Denis R. LeBlanc
1981, Open-File Report 80-67
The Cape Cod aquifer system was simulated with three-dimensional finite-difference ground-water-flow models. Five areas were modeled to provide tools that can be used to evaluate the hydrologic impacts of regional water development and waste disposal.The model boundaries were selected to represent the natural hydrologic boundaries of the aquifer. The boundary...
