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 700 hydraulic-head observations used in the steady-state, prepumped period of the transient model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), a 100,000-square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California. Hydraulic-head observations, which are the composite of one or more water-level measurements made at a well, are used to calibrate ground-water [...]

Purpose

The hydraulic-head observations and associated uncertainties in this data set represent regional, steady-state (not affected by pumping) ground-water conditions in the DVRFS transient ground- water flow model. Head observations and their uncertainties are an input file to MODFLOW-2000, the USGS 3D finite-difference code used to simulate ground-water flow in the DVRFS.
