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 defines the model-grid and hydraulic-property data arrays of the Multiplier (MULT) Package used in the transient hydrologic model of the Central Valley flow system. The MULT package defines multiplier arrays for calculation of model-layer characteristics from parameter values. The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated [...]

Purpose

The percentage of coarse-grained deposits in each of the 10 model layers, and specific yield and the altitudes of the tops of model layers 1-4 are used as input to the MULT package of MODFLOW-FMP, the USGS 3-dimensional finite-difference code used to simulate flow in the CVHM. The one-square-mile cells were used to define the resolution and extent of the CVHM. In the flow simulation, the MULT package values are used to define the hydraulic properties for the CVHM. The CVHM is a tool that accounts for integrated, variable water supply and demand, and simulates surface-water- and groundwater- flow across the entire Central Valley system.
