MODFLOW-USG model used to evaluate water management issues in the Los Angeles Coastal Plain, California
February 15, 2022
Seven model data sets are archived for this groundwater study. One simulation for the Los Angeles Coastal Plain groundwater model and six scenario simulations to evaluate the effects of future production well rate increases to reach maximum adjudicated rates and construction of new well fields. Simulations were run with MODFLOW-USG.

Development of a groundwater-simulation model in the Los Angeles Coastal Plain, Los Angeles County, California
Executive SummaryThe Los Angeles Coastal Plain (LACP) covers about 580 square miles and is the largest coastal plain of semiarid southern California. The LACP is heavily developed with mostly residential, commercial, and industrial land uses that rely heavily on groundwater for water supply. In 2010, the LACP was home to about 14 percent of California’s population, or about 5.4 million residents.
MODFLOW 6 - LACP
MODFLOW 6 - LACP uses the MODFLOW 6.4.0 source code and modifies the Horizontal Flow Barrier (HFB) package to allow simulation of vertical hydraulic conductance (CV) by connection rather than by cell, an option available for previous versions of MODFLOW (USG).
The MODFLOW 6 - LACP HFB package is used to simulate thin, vertical, and low-permeability geologic features (barriers) and acts to supplem
