Below is a list of groundwater models of areas in the state
of Utah. The model data and publications related to each model can be
downloaded by selecting their corresponding links.
The files provided are either native
MODFLOW files or are
formatted for the GMS pre/post processor. GMS version 2.1
uses MODFLOW 88 files and GMS version 6.0 uses MODFLOW 2000
files. You can obtain a free copy of GMS and documentation
at ems-i.com.

Desription: USGS produced this MODFLOW-LGR model as part of a groundwater study that investigated the water budget and impact of groundwater pumping on surface springs and rivers in the Malad-Lower Bear River area. USGS used the model to generate capture maps that show the impacts of pumping on certain surface sources.
