A three-dimensional groundwater flow model, MODFLOW2005 with the SWI2 module, was developed to provide a better understanding of the geohydrology of the Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer System in the Vicinity of Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, New Jersey. The model was used to evaluate the potential effects of three sea level rise scenarios on the aquifer system. The model was calibrated to average 2005-15 hydrologic conditions. The model was used to simulate the movement of the freshwater-seawater interface for three sea level rise scenarios.
