Short Summary

This work provides a Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) model archive to simulate potential recharge in the Saco Headwaters Watershed to evaluate the impacts of water bottling under historical and future climate scenarios.

Objective

• To simulate potential recharge (net infiltration) in the Saco Headwaters Watershed to serve as input for a groundwater model and assess the effects of water bottling.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Saco Headwaters Watershed
• Temporal Scale: Historical period (2000–2021) and future projections (2016–2099)

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) model
• Data sources: Hypothetical climate conditions (for future simulations) and historical data

Main Results

• Creation of a comprehensive model archive containing source code, binaries, georeferenced data, and output files necessary to reproduce historical and future potential recharge simulations.

Contributions

• Provides a transparent and reproducible framework for calculating net infiltration in the Saco Headwaters Watershed, enabling further research into the sustainability of water bottling operations.
