| A new hydrogeologic conceptual model was developed to construct a new model with the evolving Water Shed systems of 1-dimensional stream river networks, 2-dimensional overland regimes, and 3-dimensional subsurface media (WASH123D) flow and transport modeling code, which will be used to manage flooding in the C-111 Spreader Canal and the Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetland (BBCW) areas in the Biscayne Aquifer located in the southeastern tip of Florida. The hydrologic and geologic parameters incorporated in this conceptual model include high resolution LIDAR and helicopter data, 93 rainfall stations, lithologic information from 125 borehole locations, estimations of potential evapotranspiration from 6 stations, water level records from 19 monitor wells, and canal discharge and water depth data from 33 canal gauging stations.
