Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Regional Groundwater Flow Model, Version 2.00 (Metro Model 2) Projected Hydraulic Head DEMs: Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Minnesota

Creator:

Metropolitan Council

Description:

Groundwater flow in the Twin Cities metropolitan area was modeled using the finite difference modeling code MODFLOW-96 (McDonald and Harbaugh, 1988; Harbaugh and McDonald, 1996) as implemented in the modeling package Groundwater Vistas (version 5.09 build 16) (Environmental Simulations, Inc., 2007). This dataset defines hydraulic head (meters above mean sea level) for each active cell in the model simulations of 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040, and 2050 demand conditions that assume continued development of traditional supply sources. This dataset is a direct output of the Metro Model 2, developed by Barr Engineering Company, Inc. for the Metropolitan Council to support the development of a regional master water supply plan.More information about this process is provided in the 2009 Metropolitan Council report 'Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Regional Groundwater Flow Model Version 2.00 - Technical Report in Support of the Metropolitan Area Master Water Supply Plan', which is available online at www.metrocouncil.org/environment/WaterSupply/metrogroundwatermodeldatasets.htm.
