Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer (northern portion)Groundwater Availability Model (GAM)
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) contracted with Intera, Inc. (who teamed with Parsons Engineering Science, Inc., Waterstone Environmental Hydrology and Engineering, Inc., and several individual experts) to develop a model of the northern portion of the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer in Texas. A final report and model were delivered in 2003.
This GAM has been superseeded by the Carrizo-Wilcox, Queen City, Sparta Aquifers GAMs, which includes the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer. However, model users interested in details about the development of the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer GAMs should still refer to the GAM report listed below.
