Simulations of Groundwater Nitrogen Transport in the Long Island Sound Watershed, New York under Potential Nitrogen Management Scenarios
October 13, 2026
This data release contains input and output files for fifteen (15) MODFLOW 6 models that simulate future groundwater nitrogen transport under potential nitrogen management decisions. The development approach for the flow and transport models is described in Jahn and Walter (2026). Each scenario adjusts nitrogen inputs (Monti and others, 2024) based on communication with local stakeholders. Each scenario is simulated using the inset steady-state groundwater flow model and inset nitrogen transport model documented in a separate model application data release (Jahn, 2025).

Modeling legacy nitrogen transport under instantaneous, steady-state, and transient groundwater flow conditions Modeling legacy nitrogen transport under instantaneous, steady-state, and transient groundwater flow conditions
In hydrologic settings where groundwater discharge contributes substantially to surface waters, legacy nitrogen in groundwater can confound surface water nitrogen loads estimated exclusively from current terrestrial sources. Additionally, legacy nitrogen in groundwater can contribute to lagged responses to nitrogen management efforts. Some methods of estimating groundwater contributions...
