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 data set defines the lateral boundary and model domain of the area simulated by the transient ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS). The DVRFS transient ground-water flow model is the most recent in a number of regional-scale models developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, [...]

Purpose

The DVRFS lateral boundary represents the extent of the area simulated in the transient ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California. The definition of this area is used to develop input files to MODFLOW-2000, the USGS 3D finite-difference code used to simulate ground-water flow in the DVRFS, and to assess potential lateral ground-water flow between the model domain and adjacent areas.
