Texas Water Code § 36.108 (p)
“Districts located within the same
groundwater management areas or in
adjacent management areas may contract
to jointly conduct studies or research, or to
construct projects, under terms and
conditions that the districts consider
beneficial. These joint efforts may include
studies of groundwater availability and
quality, aquifer modeling,…”

Integration with Joint-Planning Process
 Scope of modeling project designed to be
compatible and to provide maximum benefit to
the joint-planning process in GMA-8
 Initial predictive simulation to be agreed to by
GMA-8 District Representatives will be
developed and performed as part of the
project scope
 Other information developed in support of the
project scope will be of use in the development
of the GMA-8 Explanatory Report

Benefits to GMA-8 Districts
 Overhaul a critical tool in meeting the District missions Trinity/Woodbine Aquifer GAM (NTWGAM)
 Address documented limitations in the current
NTWGAM
 Expand calibration period to 2010
 More accurate predictions at the County scale
 Development of an new GAM that can be used for GMA-8
in this round of joint planning

11

Mullican &
Associates
Factors for Meeting Study Objectives
• Finer-model scale (grid size)
• Stakeholder support and data collection
• Detailed hydrostratigraphic framework using
state-of-of the art tools
• Extensive effort in collection of aquifer data
• Calibration from PreD to 2010
• Detailed conceptual water balance prior to
model development
• Use a reproducible and documented approach
12

Mullican &
Associates
Challenges for Meeting Study Objectives
• Developing a model grid that can meet the
objectives but still be manageable
• Lack of data
• No matter how much data you have – you can
never have enough to inform every grid cell
• As a result, one has to rely on data driven
conceptual models of key model parameters
(hydraulic conductivity, recharge) to guide
model development
13

Mullican &
Associates
Work Scope Task Structure
•
•
•
•
•

Task 1 – Project Management
Task 2 – Stakeholder Communication
Task 3 – Conceptual Model Development
Task 4 – Model Construction
Task 5 – Model Calibration
•
•

Steady-State – Predevelopment
Historical – Predevelopment through 2010 (or latest)

• Task 6 – Model Visualization Tools
• Task 7 – Model Documentation

14

Mullican &
Associates
Task 3 – Conceptual Model Development
• Identify relevant processes and physical elements
controlling GW flow in the aquifer:
- Geologic Framework
- Hydrologic Framework
- Hydraulic Properties
- Sources & Sinks (Water Budget)

• Determine Data Deficiencies

The conceptual model dictates how we translate the “real world”
I
to the mathematical model.

15

Mullican &
Associates
Horizontal Model Grid (Scale)
• Refinement Provides
– Better representation of
topographic gradients
– Better definition of topographic
lows

• The smaller the grid, the more
local the flow system that can be
modeled
• Generally, the smaller the grid,
the more amount of discharge
(recharge) can be modeled

Hydrostratigraphic Framework
• Hydrostratigraphic Framework
•
•
•

Aquifer surfaces,
Lithology,
Depositional environments

• Correlation methods and software are state-of-theart
•
•

Using PETRA© which is the oil and gas industry standard
All methods, logs and data will be documented and available to
the public for further use

• Hydrostratigraphy provides a framework for
estimation of hydraulic properties

Geohydrostratigraphic Model (GHS)
• A conceptual GHS combines lithologic and
depositional information with hydraulic test
information to provide a framework for estimating
hydraulic properties across all hydrostratigraphic
units (HSUs)
• GHS should allow for the model to be calibrated in a
framework which is:
• Allows for estimation of properties across the
model domain
• Constrained on aquifer data to avoid unrealistic
parameter values
28

Mullican &
Associates
GHS Model Approach
• Assemble Aquifer Pump & Specific Capacity Test Data and
Calulate Transmissivities
• Develop Lithologic-Unit Profiles from geophysical logs for all
HSUs represented in model
• For Each HSU
– Calculate “Average” K’s of Lithologic Units from Aquifer Tests
– Estimate a “Average Transmissivity” for HSUs at each geophysical log
location

• Calibrate model to Simultaneously Match Water Levels as well
as Measured and Estimate Aquifer Parameters
• Final Model is based on achieving Acceptable Matches to Both
Water Levels (model output) and Aquifer Properties (model
input)

Hydr. Prop. / Case Example

Clay sand: L1 = 40 ft, Kh1= 1.6 ft/d

Fine sand: L2 = 1 ft, Kh2= 6.2 ft/d
Gravelly sand: L3 = 20 ft, Kh3= 8.4 ft/d

34

Mullican &
Associates

Tot_L = 61 ft

Calculating Kh at each of the 35 Geophysical Log Locations

Kh = Arithematic Average
Kh = Kh1 * L1/(Tot_L) +
Kh2 * L2/(Tot_L) +
Kh3 * L3/(Tot_L)
= 1.6 *40/61 + 6.2 *1/61 + 8.4*20/61
= 3.9 ft/d
Hydr. Prop. / Case Example
Calculating Kv at each of the 35 Geophysical Log Locations

L1 + L 2 + L 3
Kv =
L1/Kv1 + L2/Kv2 + L3/Kv3
61
=
40/0.016 + 1/0.062 + 20/0.084
= 0.022 ft/d

Assumption: For all Litho-Units Kv = 0.01 * Kh

Aquifer Water Balance –
Recharge / Discharge

50

Mullican &
Associates
Recharge
• Used multiple methods to estimate recharge:
• Stream baseflow analysis
• Water balance methods
• Chloride mass balance method
• Literature review
• Also reviewed physical controls on recharge including
precipitation, soil permeability and land use/land cover
• Aquifer discharge to streams (baseflow) provided the
most consistent estimate of recharge
• Provides a lower estimate of shallow aquifer
system recharge
• Provides the basis for a spatial and temporal model

GMA 8 Northern Trinity Woodbine GAM Update: Bill Mullican and Van Kelley

  • 1. Update of the Northern Trinity/Woodbine Groundwater Availability Model Presented To: Texas Alliance of Groundwater Districts Presented By: In Association With: Mullican & Associates 1 Mullican & Associates October 29, 2013
  • 3. Projected Population • Priority Groundwater Management Area • Greatest water level declines in the state • Population projected to increase greater than 100 % in next 50 years State Water Plan – TWDB, 2012 3 Mullican & Associates
  • 4. Districts in Model Area 4 Mullican & Associates
  • 5. Texas Water Code § 36.108 (p) “Districts located within the same groundwater management areas or in adjacent management areas may contract to jointly conduct studies or research, or to construct projects, under terms and conditions that the districts consider beneficial. These joint efforts may include studies of groundwater availability and quality, aquifer modeling,…” 5 Mullican & Associates
  • 6. Project Organization Inter-Local Agreement North Texas GCD Northern Trinity GCD Prairielands GCD Upper Trinity GCD Mullican & Associates 6 Mullican & Associates
  • 7. NTWO Project Execution Mullican and Associates Contract Management – Technical Reviews Stakeholder Processes 7 Mullican & Associates TWDB Liaison
  • 8. NTWO Project Execution Elements Contract Management Committee Technical Advisory Committee TWDB GAM Program 8 Mullican & Associates
  • 9. Integration with Joint-Planning Process  Scope of modeling project designed to be compatible and to provide maximum benefit to the joint-planning process in GMA-8  Initial predictive simulation to be agreed to by GMA-8 District Representatives will be developed and performed as part of the project scope  Other information developed in support of the project scope will be of use in the development of the GMA-8 Explanatory Report 9 Mullican & Associates
  • 10. Project Schedule and GMA Schedule 2014 2013 8/14 2015 2016 2017 GAM Development 4/16 GMA-8 DFC Development 90 TWDB MAG 10 Mullican & Associates
  • 11. Benefits to GMA-8 Districts  Overhaul a critical tool in meeting the District missions Trinity/Woodbine Aquifer GAM (NTWGAM)  Address documented limitations in the current NTWGAM  Expand calibration period to 2010  More accurate predictions at the County scale  Development of an new GAM that can be used for GMA-8 in this round of joint planning 11 Mullican & Associates
  • 12. Factors for Meeting Study Objectives • Finer-model scale (grid size) • Stakeholder support and data collection • Detailed hydrostratigraphic framework using state-of-of the art tools • Extensive effort in collection of aquifer data • Calibration from PreD to 2010 • Detailed conceptual water balance prior to model development • Use a reproducible and documented approach 12 Mullican & Associates
  • 13. Challenges for Meeting Study Objectives • Developing a model grid that can meet the objectives but still be manageable • Lack of data • No matter how much data you have – you can never have enough to inform every grid cell • As a result, one has to rely on data driven conceptual models of key model parameters (hydraulic conductivity, recharge) to guide model development 13 Mullican & Associates
  • 14. Work Scope Task Structure • • • • • Task 1 – Project Management Task 2 – Stakeholder Communication Task 3 – Conceptual Model Development Task 4 – Model Construction Task 5 – Model Calibration • • Steady-State – Predevelopment Historical – Predevelopment through 2010 (or latest) • Task 6 – Model Visualization Tools • Task 7 – Model Documentation 14 Mullican & Associates
  • 15. Task 3 – Conceptual Model Development • Identify relevant processes and physical elements controlling GW flow in the aquifer: - Geologic Framework - Hydrologic Framework - Hydraulic Properties - Sources & Sinks (Water Budget) • Determine Data Deficiencies The conceptual model dictates how we translate the “real world” I to the mathematical model. 15 Mullican & Associates
  • 16. Horizontal Model Grid (Scale) • Refinement Provides – Better representation of topographic gradients – Better definition of topographic lows • The smaller the grid, the more local the flow system that can be modeled • Generally, the smaller the grid, the more amount of discharge (recharge) can be modeled 16 Mullican & Associates 1/4 mile 1 mile 5 mile
  • 17. Vertical Scale Issues – Also Important Conceptual Groundwater Flow System Groundwater flow systems are hierarchal From Eberts and others, 1998 17 Mullican & Associates
  • 19. Stakeholder Data Requested & Received • Data Requested: – Well databases – Aquifer test data – Water level data – Water quality data – Aquifer production data – Geophysical logs – Natural aquifer discharge data (springs/streams) – District developed reports 19 Mullican & Associates
  • 21. Hydrostratigraphic Framework • Hydrostratigraphic Framework • • • Aquifer surfaces, Lithology, Depositional environments • Correlation methods and software are state-of-theart • • Using PETRA© which is the oil and gas industry standard All methods, logs and data will be documented and available to the public for further use • Hydrostratigraphy provides a framework for estimation of hydraulic properties 21 Mullican & Associates
  • 22. Structure / Lithologic Control Update NTW GAM 1498 Logs collected 1,302 Correlated Lithology developed for all logs 22 Mullican & Associates
  • 24. Cross Section Base Map Type Log Location 24 Mullican & Associates
  • 25. Strike Cross Section – South to North McLennan Hill Ellis Dallas Denton Cln Grayson Fannin Lamar Woodbine Paluxy Glen Rose Pearsall Hosston 0 25 Mullican & Associates 100 mi 2000 ft Washita Fred’burg
  • 26. Paluxy Hydrostratigraphic Unit Percent Sand 26 Mullican & Associates Depositional Environments
  • 28. Geohydrostratigraphic Model (GHS) • A conceptual GHS combines lithologic and depositional information with hydraulic test information to provide a framework for estimating hydraulic properties across all hydrostratigraphic units (HSUs) • GHS should allow for the model to be calibrated in a framework which is: • Allows for estimation of properties across the model domain • Constrained on aquifer data to avoid unrealistic parameter values 28 Mullican & Associates
  • 29. GHS Model Approach • Assemble Aquifer Pump & Specific Capacity Test Data and Calulate Transmissivities • Develop Lithologic-Unit Profiles from geophysical logs for all HSUs represented in model • For Each HSU – Calculate “Average” K’s of Lithologic Units from Aquifer Tests – Estimate a “Average Transmissivity” for HSUs at each geophysical log location • Calibrate model to Simultaneously Match Water Levels as well as Measured and Estimate Aquifer Parameters • Final Model is based on achieving Acceptable Matches to Both Water Levels (model output) and Aquifer Properties (model input) 29 Mullican & Associates
  • 30. Pumping Tests from PWS, Literature and GCDs Public Water Supply Well Number In TCEQ Database Identified Pumping Tests 820 Good Tests that Meet QA/QC 340 Literature & GCD Tests Mullican & Associates 1010 Reliable Pumping Tests with Well Screen Information 30 4530 160

  • 51. Recharge • Used multiple methods to estimate recharge: • Stream baseflow analysis • Water balance methods • Chloride mass balance method • Literature review • Also reviewed physical controls on recharge including precipitation, soil permeability and land use/land cover • Aquifer discharge to streams (baseflow) provided the most consistent estimate of recharge • Provides a lower estimate of shallow aquifer system recharge • Provides the basis for a spatial and temporal model 51 Mullican & Associates
