The Los Angeles Coastal Plain Groundwater Model in MODFLOW-6 (LACPGM-6) was developed as a tool to understand the groundwater flow system in the Los Angeles Coastal Plain (LACP). Specifically, the Los Angeles Coastal Plain Groundwater-flow Model (LACPGM-USG) (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215088) was updated to extend the model in time, fix inconsistencies and errors in the original model, incorporate new or revised data, and to facilitate a host of follow-up studies on the basin that will leverage capabilities of the MODFLOW-6 software (https://doi.org/10.5066/F76Q1VQV) including three-dimensional density dependent flow and transport and integration with other modeling software. The methods and interpretations of the model included in this data release are based on those documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021-5088 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215088).
