A previously published three-dimensional, groundwater model (SUTRA)
(http://doi.org/10.3133/sir20135216) was used to evaluate the effects
of future climate and withdrawal on the freshwater lens of Guam. The
model was run using 2080 to 2099 estimated recharge and sea-level
rise. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files
for the simulations described in the associated report "Water resources
on Guam--Potential impacts of and adaptive response to climate change:
U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2019-5095" by
Gingerich, S.B., Johnson, A.G., Rosa, S.N., Marineau, M.D., Wright, S.A.,
Hay, L.E., Widlansky, M.J., Jenson, J.W., Wong, C.I., Banner, J.L.,
Keener, V.W., and Finucane, M.L.(https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195095).
This data release also includes SUTRA source code.

Water resources on Guam—Potential impacts of and adaptive response to climate change
The goals of this joint U.S. Geological Survey, University of Hawaiʻi, University of Guam, University of Texas, and East-West Center study were to (1) provide basic understanding about water resources for U.S. Department of Defense installations on Guam and (2) assess the resulting effect of sea-level rise and a changing climate on freshwater availability, on the basis of historic information, sea - Connect
