Dockum AquiferGroundwater Availability Model (GAM)
In 2006, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) contracted with INTERA, Inc. (who has teamed with LBG-Guyton & Associates, the Bureau of Economic Geology and several individual experts) to develop a GAM for the Dockum Aquifer. The project was completed and delivered in 2009.

Model Files
Please contact David Thorkildsen (512-936-0871) for a copy of model files. The model files are available in an electronic format with a small processing fee per CD/DVD.
Model Grid
Model grid cells are geographically assigned to counties, groundwater conservation districts, river basins, groundwater management areas, and regional water planning areas within the model study area using a centroid based approach. The model grid is available in ESRI® shapefile format and comma-delimited text file.
Aquifer Data
Aquifer data is only available as a package for the entire model area and requires GIS software for processing. Due to the size of raw/source data files for this model, this information has not been posted on the web. The raw/source data may be requested on CD(s) in an electronic format with a processing fee by contacting David Thorkildsen (512-936-0871).
