The Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models include the Salinas Valley Surface Water Network, and the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models. For the Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models, the Salinas Valley is further subdivided into the upper and the lower Salinas Valley; the upper region is primarily within San Luis Obispo County, California while the lower region of the Salinas River Watershed is fully contained within Monterey County, California. The Salinas Valley Surface Water Network covers the upper and lower Salinas Valley regions and includes datasets defining sub-catchments, the location of the stream network, and existing streamflow gage locations. The Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models include the Salinas Valley Integrated Model [...]
Summary
The Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models include the Salinas Valley Surface Water Network, and the Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models. For the Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models, the Salinas Valley is further subdivided into the upper and the lower Salinas Valley; the upper region is primarily within San Luis Obispo County, California while the lower region of the Salinas River Watershed is fully contained within Monterey County, California. The Salinas Valley Surface Water Network covers the upper and lower Salinas Valley regions and includes datasets defining sub-catchments, the location of the stream network, and existing streamflow gage locations. The Lower Salinas Valley Hydrologic Models include the Salinas Valley Integrated Model (SVIHM) and the Salinas Valley Operational Model (SVOM). The SVIHM and SVOM were developed to simulate and analyze conjunctive use and changes in the use and movement of water throughout the landscape, surface-water networks and aquifers, as well as changes in groundwater storage and related seawater intrusion in different hydrologic regions of Salinas Valley, California.
