Evin Fetkovich

Hydrologist, Oklahoma Branch, Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center

Evin Fetkovich is a Hydrologist with the USGS Oklahoma-Texas Water Science Center in Oklahoma City, Ok. He joined the USGS in the Tulsa field office in 2019 where his work mostly focused on water quality. He joined the Oklahoma City Hydrologic Studies section in 2021 as a Hydrologist. His research interests include groundwater availability, developing hydrogeologic frameworks and conceptual flow models, water quality, and he is beginning work on projects involving groundwater modeling using MODFLOW. Evin is also a member of the USGS Early Career Scientists Network Employee Resource Group leadership team.

MODFLOW-NWT model used in simulation of groundwater availability in reaches 3 and 4 of the Washita River aquifer, southern Oklahoma, 1980–2017

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), constructed a finite-difference numerical groundwater-flow model of the Washita River aquifer by using MODFLOW-2005 (Harbaugh, 2005) with the Newton formulation solver (MODFLOW-NWT). The 1973 Oklahoma Groundwater Law requires that the OWRB conduct hydrologic investigations of the State’s aquifers to d

Hydrogeology and simulated groundwater availability in reaches 3 and 4 of the Washita River aquifer, southern Oklahoma, 1980–2017

The 1973 Oklahoma Groundwater Law (Oklahoma Statutes §82–1020.5) requires that the Oklahoma Water Resources Board conduct hydrologic investigations of the State’s aquifers to determine the maximum annual yield for each groundwater basin. Because more than 20 years have elapsed since the final order was issued, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, cond
