This is the README file for animations in AVI format from 1958 through
2049 resulting from three projected ground-water withdrawal scenarios of the Mississippi
River Valley alluvial aquifer ground-water flow model documented in U.S. Geological
Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 03-4232:

Recalibration of a Ground-Water Flow Model of the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial
Aquifer in Southeastern Arkansas, 1918-1998, with Simulations of Hydraulic Heads
Caused by Projected Ground-Water Withdrawals through 2049

By Gregory P. Stanton and Brian R. Clark

A PDF file format of the report is available on the compact disc (CD).

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:

sc1.avi  - stress period 10 (1997) withdrawals extended through 2049.
sc2.avi  - Water-Use Trend with 1.25 times 2000 withdrawal rate limit
           extended through 2049
sc3.avi  - Water-Use Trend with 10 Percent Reduction extended through 2049
sc1_oblq.avi  - Oblique view of sc1.avi
sc2_oblq.avi  - Oblique view of sc2.avi
sc3_oblq.avi  - Oblique view of sc3.avi


The CD should open automatically when inserted on most Windows machines.
To view manually load "OpenMe.html" 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.
