Computer Simulation of the Alluvial Aquifer along the North Fork of the Red River in Southwestern Oklahoma

Abstract

This study concerns the hydrogeologic properties of the alluvial aquifer associated with the North Fork of the Red River in southwestern Oklahoma. The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum annual yield of fresh-water which can be pumped from the aquifer between July 1, 1973, and July 1, 1993. A computer model was used to simulate the hydrogeologic regime of the aquifer system and to determine the maximum annual yield based on pumpage prior to July 1, 1973 and subsequent allocated pumpage.
