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 geospatial data set contains the locations, values, and uncertainties of hydraulic-head observations used in the calibration of the transient model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS). The hydraulic-head observations were developed by compositing one or more water-levels measured in wells throughout the DVRFS model domain, a 45,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California. To develop hydraulic-head [...]

Purpose

The hydraulic-head observations representing prepumped and pumped stress conditions were an input file to MODFLOW-2000, the USGS 3D finite-difference code used to simulate ground-water flow in the DVRFS. The steady-state and transient hydraulic-head observations were used in calibrating the DVRFS transient ground-water flow model.
