Rustler AquiferGroundwater Availability Model (GAM)
In October 2009, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) contracted with INTERA, Inc. (who teamed with Dr. Dennis Powers, Dr. John Sharp, and Dr. Robert Holt) to develop a groundwater availability model (GAM) for the Rustler Aquifer. The project was completed in 2012.
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).
