The predictive groundwater model was developed to determine effects of future (2019–2100) groundwater development on water levels and spring discharges assuming either pumping continues at the current (2018) rate or all pumping stops at present (2018). The integrated groundwater model was developed to: (1) characterize predevelopment groundwater flow; (2) determine effects of historic (1913–2018) groundwater development on water levels and natural discharges; (3) estimate advective movement from underground nuclear tests; and (4) address basin-boundary uncertainty for the AFFCR, Ash Meadows, PMOV, and PDVS groundwater basins. The development of model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1863 (https://doi.org/10.3133/pp1863).
