This is the README file for animations in AVI format describing withdrawal scenarios of the Sparta aquifer flow model documented in WRIR 03-4132: A PDF file format of the report is available on the compact disc (CD). Development and Calibration of a Ground-Water Flow Model for the Sparta Aquifer of Southeastern Arkansas and North-Central Louisiana and Simulated Response to Withdrawals, 1998-2027. By Paul McKee and Brian Clark The animations contained on the CD were created using Tecplot version 9.2-0-3 for MS-WINDOWS Copyright(c) 1988-2002 Amtec Engineering, Inc. Hydraulic-head data for the animations were read from the HDS output file from MODFLOW-2000 and reformatted using code written with the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 editor within Microsoft Access 2000 (9.0.2720) Copyright (c) 1992-1999. Animations included on the CD consist of simulated hydraulic heads for: sc1.avi - scenario 1, baseline 1990-1997 withdrawals extended through 2027 and then to steady-state. sc2.avi - scenario 2, baseline 1990-1997 withdrawals extended through 2027, with reduction in industrial withdrawals in Pine Bluff and El Dorado. sc3.avi - scenario 3, 25 percent increase in baseline 1990-1997 withdrawals over 30 years, with removal of selected industrial withdrawals in Pine Bluff and El Dorado. sc1_oblq.avi - Oblique view of scenario 1. sc2_oblq.avi - Oblique view of scenario 2. sc3_oblq.avi - Oblique view of scenario 3. The CD should open automatically when inserted on most Windows machines. To view manually load "OpenMe.html" on the CD into browser. Viewing of AVI files and HTML documents may vary widely depending on variables such as operating systems and user preferences. Preference settings in some browsers may cause a related mail client or previously loaded HTML document to become active instead of the enclosed OpenMe.html. This action requires the user to open a browser and specifically load OpenMe.html by either "FILE > OPEN" or "drag and drop". In other cases, when viewing animations, the AVI may be embedded in the browser. This requires user interaction with a single mouse click on the image to invoke the animation. Other browsers may spawn applications such as Windows Media Player that will automatically play the animation.
