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 digital data set defines the lateral boundary of the area simulated by the steady-state ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) by D'Agnese and others (2002). The DVRFS flow model was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The model area is an approximately...

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 digital data set defines the boundary of the steady-state ground-water flow model built by IT Corporation (1996). The regional, 20-layer ground-water flow model was developed for the Underground Test Area (UGTA) Phase I project to simulate the Nevada Test Site and surrounding areas.

In the early 1970's, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) entered into a partnership with the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) to provide repetitive global images of the earth's landmasses taken from a satellite flown at an altitude of approximately 438 miles. Onboard the 1999 Landsat7 satellite, the instrument used is an 8-band multispectral scanning radiometer that produces high-resolution images of the earth using...

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 digital data set represents ground-water discharged from the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) through pumped wells. Pumping from wells in the transient flow model of the DVRFS is simulated using the Multi-Node Well (MNW) package for MODFLOW-2000 (Halford and Hanson, 2002). In the DVRFS region wells typically are completed with screens that span multiple aquifers and thus multiple layers in the model. The...
