The TWDB has conducted Groundwater Availability Model Runs (GAM Runs) for a variety of entities. The links below contain all the GAM Runs. If you are interested in the various GAM Runs conducted for GMA 9, you can scroll down the list, look for GMA 9 in the third column, and then click on the GAM Run link in the sixth column to access the GAM Run you are interested in.

July 2008	GAM Run (A) : 35 Feet	The Texas Water Development Board has released this draft version of the first of three requested runs of the Hill Country Trinity Aquifer Groundwater Availability Model. This first run looks at a possible Desired Future Condition of allowing no more than a 35 foot drop in average aquifer level from 2008 average levels by the year 2060. We are still waiting on the variable drawdown run.
July 2008	GAM Run (B) : 15 Feet	The Texas Water Development Board has released this draft version of the second of three requested runs of the Hill Country Trinity Aquifer Groundwater Availability Model. This second run looks at a possible Desired Future Condition of allowing no more than a 15 foot drop in average aquifer level from 2008 average levels by the year 2060. We are still waiting on the variable drawdown run.
August 2008	GAM Run (C) : Various DFCs	The Texas Water Development Board has released this draft version of the third of three requested runs of the Hill Country Trinity Aquifer Groundwater Availability Model. This third run looks at mixed Desired Future Conditions based on average aquifer levels from 2008 average levels by the year 2060, and also divides the Trinity Aquifer into three separate sub-aquifers.
December 2008	GAM Run 08-70 Draft	This GAM run is a 60-year predictive run. Two runs use 2008 baseline pumpage for the Edwards Group, the Upper Trinity aquifer, and the Middle Trinity aquifer and average recharge rates. • Part A uses 25 percent additional pumpage for the Middle Trinity aquifer. • Part B uses 50 percent additional pumpage for the Middle Trinity aquifer. • Part C (a third run) consists of a steady-state model run using no pumpage and average recharge rates to estimate water levels that existed under pre-development conditions.
