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. These contours represent the simulated potentiometric surface at the end of simulation (1998) in model layer 16 of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California. The numerical ground-water flow model simulates prepumping conditions before 1913 and transient-flow conditions from 1913 to 1998 after pumping of ground water began. The DVRFS...

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 dataset represents the surface hydrogeology of an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer area of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) in southern Nevada and California. Faunt and others (2004) constructed the map by merging mapped lithostratigraphic units into 27 hydrogeologic units (HGUs). The HGUs represent rocks and deposits of considerable lateral extent and distinct hydrologic properties. The...

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 geospatial data set contains the locations, values, and uncertainties of hydraulic-head observations used in the calibration of the transient model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS). The hydraulic-head observations were developed by compositing one or more water-levels measured in wells throughout the DVRFS model domain, a 45,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California.

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. The model was used for estimating the amount of water moving through the ground-water system, predicting the movement of contaminants, evaluating...

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. 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 surface was derived using a gridding algorithm and interactive editing to produce contours representative of the natural water-table conditions. Input data included the altitudes of lakes, springs,...
