Abstract
To assist in the management of coastal
ground-water resources, more than 15 numerical
ground-water flow and solute-transport models of the Floridan
aquifer system have been developed by the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) and others for all or part of the coastal area of
Georgia and adjacent parts of South Carolina and Florida. In
general, numerical models of ground-water systems are
developed for one or more of the following purposes—(1) to
test the feasibility of a conceptual model of the system based
on observed hydrologic conditions; (2) to determine the
effects of present aquifer uses; or (3) to predict the behavior of
the system under hypothetical conditions. Examples of each
of these broad categories of numerical models are discussed.
