MODFLOW-6 model to update and extend the Los Angeles Coastal Plain Groundwater Model

The Los Angeles Coastal Plain (LACP) covers about 580 square miles and is the largest coastal plain of semiarid southern California. The LACP is heavily developed with mostly residential, commercial, and industrial land uses that rely heavily on groundwater for water supply. In 2010, the LACP was home to about 14 percent of California’s population and is also a major commercial and industrial hub. There has been a heavy reliance on groundwater from the LACP for many years. Managed aquifer recharge from the spreading grounds and barrier wells is now a substantial component of the LACP’s groundwater supply. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a study in cooperation with the Water Replenishment District of...

Pumping, Injection, and Water Spreading Model Input for the Los Angeles Coastal Plain Groundwater Model - MF6

These data include pumping, injection, and water spreading input data for the MODFLOW-6 extension and update to Los Angeles Coastal Plain Groundwater Model (LACPGM-MF6) for the years 2016-2020. The LACPGM-MF6 required model inputs to represent groundwater injection, groundwater extraction, and water spreading. Extended datasets include four barrier project injection rates, two groundwater production extraction rates, and one water spreading infiltration rates. The data were made available by the two local water agencies, Water Resources Division of Los Angeles and the Orange County Water District. Spreading data were formatted for the MODFLOW-6 well package and both injection and extraction data were formatted for...
