Summary

This model has been superseded by an updated version of the model. The new model can be found at: https://doi.org/10.5066/P99KJ1U1, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9FTZ5RW, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9NBWLYX, https://doi.org/10.5066/P97XBULI, https://doi.org/10.5066/P980EHWV, https://doi.org/10.5066/P95XLBB5, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9ICSZWF, https://doi.org/10.5066/P96LJ01V, and https://doi.org/10.5066/P9IZRO3V. A three-dimensional groundwater flow model (MODFLOW200-FMP1_1) of the Central Valley in California was developed to aid water managers in understanding how water moves through the aquifer system, to predict water-supply scenarios, and to address issues related to water competition. The USGS Groundwater Resources Program made a detailed [...]

Purpose

The groundwater flow model of the Central Valley aquifer in California (CVHM) was developed to estimate water-budget components by numerically modeling the hydrologic system with the Farm Process (FMP1) and to assess and quantify hydrologic conditions at scales relevant for water-management decisions. The development of the model input and output files for the CVHM included in this data release are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1766 (https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp1766)
