Preface

The series of manuals on techniques describes procedures for planning and executing specialized work in water-resources investigations. The material is grouped under major subject headings called books and further subdivided into sections and chapters. Section A of Book 6 is ground-water modeling. This report presents a computer program for simulating aquifer-system compaction resulting from ground-water storage changes in compressible beds.

The program documented in this report is designed for incorporation into the modular finite-difference ground-water flow model developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. The modular model is documented in Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations Book 6, Chapter Al.

The performance of this computer program has been tested in models of both hypothetical and actual ground-water flow systems. Future applications or advancement in knowledge, equipment, or techniques may require that this program be updated. Users may inquire about the availability of updates to this computer program (Interbed-Storage Package) by writing to:
