Summary

A previously developed numerical groundwater flow model of the eastern Great Basin was used to investigate where potential drawdown and capture of natural discharge is likely to result from potential groundwater withdrawals from existing and applied for groundwater rights in Snake Valley, Utah and Nevada. SIR 2014-5213 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20145213), SIR 2017–5011 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175011), and SIR 2017-5072 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175072) document the construction and calibration of the previous versions of this model. The eastern Great Basin model consists of a parent model and a child model. The parent model covers the focus study area and was used for the simulations presented in this data release, and [...]

Purpose

The objective of this model was to simulate potential effects from existing and future groundwater development on water rights and water sources managed by the U.S. National Park Service and U.S. Bureau of Land Management in Snake Valley and adjacent areas in western Utah and eastern Nevada. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2019-1083 (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191083).
