Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This data release supersedes Estimated potentiometric surface by D'Agnese and others (1998), for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system study, Nevada and California (also available at https://doi.org/10.5066/p9ynrfd3) D'Agnese and others (1998) developed a potentiometric surface to conceptualize the regional ground-water flow system and to construct numerical flow models of the Death Valley region, Nevada and California. The estimated potentiometric [...]

Purpose

The regional potentiometric-surface contour map by D'Agnese and others (1998) was used to make initial estimates of regional hydraulic head for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) numerical model. The surface was also used during model calibration to compare hydraulic heads and gradients spatially within the DVRFS, Nevada and California.
