Prescott Regional Model

Prescott Regional Model

Model History and Timeline

Prescott MODFLOW model was developed in 1995 and simulates groundwater flow conditions in the LIC and UAF Sub-basins (Modeling Report 9 - Corkhill and Mason, 1995). The Prescott model was updated in 2002 (Modeling Report 12 - Nelson, 2002) and in 2006 (Timmons and Springer, 2006). ADWR has just completed an update of the Prescott AMA Groundwater Flow Model (Nelson and Yunker, 2014) which is provided below.

 

Model Location

Prescott Model

The Prescott model grid encompasses approximately 250 square miles.
