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 locations of, and links to USGS gages on 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 (Schmidt and others, 2006b). This simulation is referred to here as the CVHM (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing [...]

Purpose

The surface-water gage dataset was used as calibration data for MODFLOW-FMP, the USGS 3-dimensional finite-difference code used to simulate flow in the CVHM. This is a supporting dataset that is used to help calibrate 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.
