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 categories used to classify the basin-fill deposits in the Central Valley as either coarse-grained or fine-grained deposits. This classification was used to develop the texture model which was used as input data for the hydraulic properties portion of the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM). The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of [...]

Purpose

The categories used to classify the basin-fill deposits in the Central Valley as either coarse-grained or fine-grained deposits were used to build the texture model which was used as input to MODFLOW-FMP, the USGS 3D finite-difference code used to simulate flow in the CVHM. 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.
