Steady-State Simulation of Ground-Water Flow in the Rush Springs Aquifer, WesternOklahoma

摘要

A simplified steady-state ground-water flow model was prepared for the RushSprings aquifer in western Oklahoma. A 3-kilometer square grid was established over the area containing two layers with 674 active nodes simulated in the model. The purpose of this report is to present a simplified conceptual model of the ground-water hydrology of the Rush Springs aquifer, to test the conceptual model using a numerical model of ground-water flow, and to make the numerical model available for use and modification by the OWRB and others. This report is the steady-state step in this process where the transient simulation will be completed by the OWRB. Also available in the report is the general geologic setting, boundaries, input data to the model, and final model output. The model was developed to represent steady-state conditions prior to irrigation.
