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 digital dataset contains the surface-water network for the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM). The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000-square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGS numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006). This simulation is referred to here as the CVHM (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater [...]

Purpose

The surface-water network was resampled to the model grid and used as input to MODFLOW-FMP, the USGS 3-dimensional finite-difference code used to simulate flow in the CVHM. This is a supporting dataset that provides the CVHM with the location and length of streams and canals that are directly simulated. The CVHM is a tool that a ccounts for integrated, variable water supply and demand, and simulates surface-water and groundwater-flow across the entire Central Valley system.
