Calibrated MODFLOW storativity

dataset: MODFLOW_S
Calibrated MODFLOW storativity per model layer. As calculated from the DSE ecoMarkets groundwater flow modelling project. Storativity (also known as confined storage) indicates the amount of groundwatyer released from storage due to a unit depressurisation of a confined aquifer. The value is dimensionless and expressed as a fraction between 0 and 1. Number of model layers per groundwater model is listed below: North East - 6 Goulburn Broken - 8 North Central - 10 Mallee 1992 - 4 Wimmera - 8 Glenelg Hopkins - 5 Corangamite - 6 Port Phillip - 6 West Gippsland - 7 East Gippsland - 6 For further information: https://ensym.dse.vic.gov.au/home/aboutensym Harbaugh, A.W., and McDonald, M.G., 1996, User's documentation for MODFLOW-96, an update to the U.S. Geological Survey modular finite-difference ground-water flow model: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 96-485, 56 p

Description

Title
Calibrated MODFLOW storativity 
Alternate title
MODFLOW_S 
Purpose
Storativity values are used as a groundwater flow modelling input parameter however they can also be used in other groundwater system studies such as water resource appraisals, contaminant modelling, bore field assesments, extractive industry assesments and aquifer storage and recovery assesments.

Comments
Storativity values are generalised over each model area and can not represent the true spatial variability within heterogenous geological structures such as aquifers. They can however represent the overall expected storativity values which is suitable when looking at catchment scale impacts.
