This digital dataset contains datasets used to develop the Multi Node Well (MNW2) Package in CVHM2. It includes well locations, well properties for Municipal Pumping, Rural Pumping, Recovery Pumping, and Agricultural Pumping. The data release also includes pumping rates for Municipal Pumping, Rural Pumping, Recovery Pumping. Agricultural Pumping are estimated in CVHM2 by the farm process, and thus are not included in the virtual farm well child item. The data release also documents how urban water use was estimated in CVHM2 from population and other base datasets.

This digital dataset contains the location and timing of the virtual farm wells for the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2). Farm wells are simulated as virtual wells and the screen lengths based on those calculated for the original Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM; Faunt and others, 2009). Farm wells are all simulated as multi-node wells (MNW), which allows for a more realistic distribution of pumping by demand for each water balance subregion. Agricultural Pumping are estimated in CVHM2 by the farm process, and thus are not included in the virtual farm well child item.
