Groundwater Models

Groundwater models are used to simulate groundwater flow and assess groundwater availability.

Overview

Effective water planning and management requires an accurate assessment of the location and quantity of the State’s groundwater resources. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with SCDES, the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES), and the United States Army Corps of Engineers, is developing a computer model to simulate groundwater flow in the Coastal Plain province of South Carolina.
