The \ncomputer program ZONEBUDGET was used to calculate cell by cell water balances for the major \ncomponents of the water budget for the Upper Big Sandy Designated Groundwater Basin alluvial aquifer. \nThe original Denver Basin groundwater flow model was done as part of a large-scale regional groundwater \navailability study of the principal aquifers and represents regional time-varying (transient) conditions prior \nto 1880 through 2003. This model was updated to include updated well pumping data through 2016.
