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. The Colorado River and its tributaries supply water to more than 35 million people in the United States and 3 million people in Mexico, irrigating more than 4.5 million acres of farmland, and generating about 12 billion kilowatt hours of hydroelectric power annually. Planning for the sustainable management of the Colorado River in future climates requires an understanding of the Upper Colorado River Basin groundwater system. The Upper Colorado River [...]

Purpose

This document describes the input datasets of four of the five model themes, soil available water content (awc), hydrologic soil group (hsg), land use (nlcd), and the overland flow direction (overland_flow_direction) as supplemental to the U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 2015-1160 (USGS OFR 2105-1160). USGS OFR 2015-1160 documents and discusses the origin and manipulation of the input datasets for the Soil-Water Balance groundwater recharge model that was developed for the Upper Colorado River Basin. The report documenting this and other datasets for the UCRB Soil-Water Balance recharge model is: Tillman, F.D, 2015, Documentation of input datasets for the soil-water balance groundwater recharge model of the Upper Colorado River Basin: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015–1160, 17 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151160.
