Spatial Data in Support of the Characterization of Water Resources near the Southeastern Part of Puget Sound, Washington
August 6, 2024
The data within this data release presents information used to characterize the groundwater-flow system and the development of a groundwater-flow model in the active model area. Conceptual and numerical models of groundwater flow were developed by the U.S. Geological Survey Washington Water Science Center, in close cooperation with 18 water-resource agencies and stakeholders, to assess the potential hydrologic and anthropogenic impacts to groundwater and the connected surface-water resources.

Soil-Water Balance Model of the Puyallup and Chambers-Clover Basins, Western Washington Soil-Water Balance Model of the Puyallup and Chambers-Clover Basins, Western Washington
This archive documents a Soil-Water Balance (SWB) model of the Puyallup and Chambers-Clover Basins in Pierce and King Counties, Washington. The SWB model used to estimate a water budget and recharge for input into a groundwater flow model of the Puyallup and Chamber-Clover Basins between January 2005 and December 2015.
MODFLOW-NWT model to simulate the groundwater flow system near Puget Sound, Pierce and King Counties, Washington 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...
Numerical model of the groundwater-flow system near the southeastern part of Puget Sound, Washington Numerical model of the groundwater-flow system near the southeastern part of Puget Sound, Washington
Groundwater flow in the active model area (AMA) was simulated using a groundwater-flow model. A steady-state model version of the model simulates equilibrium conditions, and a transient model version simulates monthly variability. The model corresponds to the physical and temporal dimensions of the conceptual model and groundwater budget. The steady-state model version represents average...

Conceptual hydrogeologic framework and groundwater budget near the southeastern part of Puget Sound, Washington Conceptual hydrogeologic framework and groundwater budget 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...
