Woolfenden, L.R., Engott, J.A., and Larsen, J.D., 2022, GSFLOW model used to simulate the groundwater and surface-water resources of the San Antonio Creek Valley watershed, Santa Barbara County, California: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P960EOK8.

Summary

A three-dimensional integrated groundwater and surface-water model, GSFLOW, was developed to better understand and manage the groundwater system of the San Antonio Creek Valley watershed, Santa Barbara County, California. The model was calibrated to hydrologic conditions during water years 1948-2018. The model was used to evaluate the interaction between the groundwater and surface-systems and provide average and temporal water budgets for the simulation period. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulation described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215139).

Purpose

The San Antonio Creek Valley integrated model was developed as a tool to better understand the effects of pumping on the groundwater and surface water systems and provide the capability to assess the sustainability of its groundwater supplies. The model can be used to evaluate management strategies designed to mitigate declining water levels that can threaten the economic viability of pumping and deterioration of water quality by dewatering the alluvial aquifer. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the associated U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021-5139, (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir2021-5139).
