Evaluation of Drawdown and Sources of Water in the Mississippi River AlluviumCaused by Hypothetical Pumping, Muscatine, Iowa

摘要

A study was conducted to evaluate draw-down and volumetric changes in sources ofwater in the Mississippi River alluvium caused by hypothetical pumping. A steady-state, ground-water flow model was constructed for a previous study to simulate February 1993 hydrologic conditions, which were assumed to be an acceptable estimate of the ground-water system at equilibrium. The flow model was modified for this study to simulate six hypothetical pumping scenarios: five pumping scenarios to simulate hypothetical pumping at five pumping scenario sites, and a total pumping scenario to simulate cumulative hypothetical pumping from the five pumping scenario sites.
