MODFLOW 6 Groundwater Flow Model for the Iowa River Alluvial Aquifer near Tama, Iowa, 1980 through 2022

September 22, 2025

The U.S. Geological Survey constructed a groundwater flow model of the Iowa River alluvial aquifer and underlying hydrogeologic units near the Meskwaki Settlement in Tama County, Iowa, for the period of January 1980 to August 2022 to estimate the fraction of water pumped from the Iowa River alluvial aquifer by Meskwaki Settlement wells that is derived from streamflow depletion in the Iowa River and its tributaries.
