The Gulf Coast Aquifer System Groundwater Availability Model (GAM) for the Central and Southern Portions of Gulf Coast Aquifer System in Texas
The Texas Water Development Board is developing a groundwater availability model of the central (Groundwater Management Area 15) and southern (Groundwater Management Area 16) portions of the Gulf Coast Aquifer System in Texas. The model is expected to be completed no earlier than at the end of August, 2021.
