MODPATH model to simulate particle transport in groundwater near Puget Sound, Pierce County, Washington
June 14, 2024
MODPATH simulations were performed using the MODFLOW groundwater flow model by Wright and others (2023) as the basis, with particles originating from 5 separate areas in or near Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). Steady-state and transient runs were performed, with transient runs representing 2005-2015 conditions. This data release contains the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20XXXXXX).

Simulated groundwater flow paths and travel times near Joint Base Lewis–McChord, Washington
The Issue: Past activities at Joint Base Lewis–McChord (JBLM)—located in west-central Washington—resulted in releases of hazardous waste and contaminants to the environment, and the most recent chemical of concern is per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS can enter groundwater and travel through the subsurface. Water-resource managers need to understand where groundwater flows in order...
MODFLOW-NWT model to simulate the groundwater flow system near Puget Sound, Pierce and King Counties, Washington
A three-dimensional groundwater flow model, constructed in MODFLOW-NWT, was developed to evaluate the groundwater flow system near Puget Sound, Pierce and King Counties, Washington. A steady-state model version was constructed to simulate equilibrium conditions, while a transient model version was constructed to simulate monthly variability from January 2005 to December 2015. The model...
Characterization of groundwater resources near the southeastern part of Puget Sound, Washington
More than 1 million people live within the active model area (AMA) in the southeastern part of the lowlands surrounding Puget Sound, or Puget Lowland, Washington, and groundwater is the source for approximately one-half of their public, domestic, and irrigation water demands. The 887-square-mile AMA, located in King and Pierce Counties, represents the area of analysis for the conceptual...
