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 dataset contains the virtual wells used for urban (municipal and industrial use) pumpage for the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM). The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006). This application is referred to here as the [...]

Purpose

The urban virtual well dataset was used as input to MODFLOW-FMP, the USGS 3-dimensional finite-difference code used to simulate flow in the CVHM. The single well per model cell represents the composite of all wells in each square-mile cell and is referred to here as a virtual well. This is a supporting dataset that feeds the CVHM with the location and perforated intervals of the virtual wells. The CVHM is a tool that accounts for integrated, variable water supply and demand, and simulates surface-water and groundwater-flow across the entire Central Valley system.
