Advgwtidal example

This model represents highlands bordered by a tidal estuary. The model has 3 layers representing an upper aquifer, confining bed, and lower aquifer. The grid is 15 rows by 10 columns. The length unit is feet and the time unit is days. Each cell is 500 ft × 500 ft. The estuary is represented by GHB boundaries in column 10. Two rivers cross the area from left to right. Recharge is zoned by the use of three Recharge-Package input files
