Algorithms and data for modeling daily estimates of diffuse and preferential groundwater recharge at U.S. Geological Survey Climate Response Network Wells in the Delaware River Basin, USA
The files and folders in this data release contain the input and output files and MATLAB algorithms used for simulations described in the associated journal article (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10040-024-02868-x). The algorithms implement a data-driven, mechanistic model of vertical infiltration through the unsaturated zone and recharge to the water table that is developed from water-balance concepts. The model of infiltration and recharge is defined in terms of observed states (such as, the water-table altitude) and unobserved states (such as, fluxes through the unsaturated zone and recharge to the water table) and includes both diffuse and preferential flow through the unsaturated zone to the water table. Estimates of the daily contributions to recharge at the water table from diffuse and preferential flow are performed by interpreting daily time-series records of observations of water-table altitude and meteorological inputs (such as, the liquid precipitation rate, snowmelt rate, and the Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) rate). The modeling approach used here is an extension of concepts of modeling infiltration and rapid recharge originally presented in Shapiro and Day-Lewis (2021) https://doi.org/10.1029/2020WR029110 and Shapiro and others (2022) (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13206). The model of infiltration and recharge to the water table is applied to daily records available at 32 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Climate Response Network (CRN) wells located in the Delaware River Basin (DRB) in the eastern United States from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2021. The daily water-table altitude and the meteorological records described in the associated journal article (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10040-024-02868-x) are included as input files to the MATLAB algorithms described in this data release.
