DescriptionThe Mullica River basin is in southern New Jersey and is part of the Pine Barrens region. In 1954, the State acquired the Wharton Tract, now known as the Wharton State Forest, in the Mullica River basin to conserve and develop its water resources. Development of water resources could affect the ecological balance, use, and management of the area. To provide quantitative solutions to problems arising from ground-water development, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Resources, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, initiated a study of Mullica River basin. The purpose of this report is to present the results of the initial stage of this study, development of a steady-state model of the area. The steady-state model is a first step toward the final goal of producing a model suitable for use by managers to evaluate alternative water-development schemes. This report describes the development of the model, including assumptions made, input data used, and the results of the calibration process. Results are discussed from the point of view of what conceptual changes and additional data are required to test fully and produce a useful, accurate predictive model.
