This dependence on groundwater raises important questions regarding the Madison and Minnelusa aquifers in and near the Black Hills of South Dakota, including groundwater availability, the effects of water use or drought, mixing of regional flow and local recharge, and the effects of capture zones of springs and wells on the groundwater-flow system. These questions are best addressed with a three-dimensional numerical groundwater-flow model that
