An Investigation of the Impacts of High Capacity Wells in the Northwestern Region of the Central Wisconsin Sand and Gravel Aquifer for 2016 by Use of FREEWAT and the MODFLOW-NWT Formula

Abstract

Overall, the goal of this research is to investigate the impacts of high-capacity wells on a Northwestern region of the Central Wisconsin Sand and Gravel Aquifer and to the impacts of high-capacity wells. To accomplish this goal the change in hydraulic head across the aquifer will be used as a proxy to assess the change in aquifer volume per unit area. The year 2016 will be modeled for this region using the MODFLOW-NWT based tool FREEWAT.
