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 data set defines the model grid and infiltration values simulated in the transient ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California. The DVRFS model grid is north-south-oriented, consists of 194 rows and 160 columns, and has a constant grid-cell spacing of 1,500 meters. Model cells are attributed with infiltration rates [...]

Purpose

The model grid and infiltration values were used to develop input to MODFLOW-2000, the USGS 3D finite-difference code used to simulate ground-water flow in the DVRFS. The infiltration rates represent one component of recharge simulated in the DVRFS transient ground-water flow model.
