Gridded Shapefile for the Recharge Zones of the Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer

TL;DRAbstract

<p>General Information:</p>\n<p>This is a GIS shapefile that delineates hydraulic conductivity and recharge zones for the Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer in central Texas, USA. The groundwater system is a karstic aquifer in a rapidly urbanizing portion of the City of Austin. The shapefile boundary aligns with a numerical groundwater simulation of the aquifer system with cells matching the active regions of the MODFLOW model. Zonation reflects 11 areas that are useful for integrated groundwater management and modelling.</p>\n<p>Use cases and further information:</p>\n<p>A numerical simulation (MODFLOW model) was developed for use as a groundwater availability model (GAM) in the State of Texas (Scanlon et al, 2003; Scanlon et al, 2001). The recharge zones were developed for Barton Springs GAM because it represents a baseline interpretation of groundwater behavior, the model is readily accessible. Zonation was originally completed so
