Puget Sound and Salish Sea Saline Groundwater Wedge Footprint and Elevation Model Results

Supplementary datasets of calculated saline groundwater wedge elevations and the overall footprint within the shallow, unconfined aquifer as modeled in Befus, K.M., Hoover, D.J., Grossman, E.E., and Barnard, P.L., 2024, Future coastal groundwater hazards in the Puget Sound region, Washington, U.S.A.: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P946YX5G. A Ghyben-Herzberg approach is used to calculate the depth of the fresh-saline interface below sea level using the modeled groundwater heads. Each zipped data resource contains all outputs for one of the counties simulated along the Puget Sound and Salish Sea.
