Northern portion of the Trinity Aquifer and Woodbine Aquifer Groundwater Availability Model (GAM)
The North Texas, Northern Trinity, Prairielands, and Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation Districts contracted Intera, Inc. to develop a new numerical model for the Trinity Aquifer and Woodbine Aquifer located within Groundwater Management Area 8. The final report and model were released in 2015. The original version of the model is documented below.
Current GAM
Model Report
- "Updated Groundwater Availability Model of the Northern Trinity and Woodbine Aquifers."
- "Northern Trinity / Woodbine Aquifer Groundwater Availability Model."
- "Assessment of Groundwater Use in the Northern Trinity Aquifer Due To Urban Growth and Barnett Shale Development."
Model Files and Associated Data
Please see the GAM files download page for the current model files and associated data.
Aquifer data is only available as a package for the entire model area and requires GIS software for processing. Please see the GAM files download page for aquifer data.
