Central Valley Hydrologic Model version 2 (CVHM2): Municipal Pumping

This digital dataset contains the municipal pumping dataset used to develop the Multi Node Well (MNW2) Package in the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2). It includes well locations, well properties, and pumping rates for Municipal Pumping.

MODFLOW-OWHM Used to Characterize the Groundwater Flow System of the Central Valley

A three-dimensional groundwater flow model of the Central Valley in California was developed to aid water managers in understanding how water moves through the aquifer system, to predict water-supply scenarios, and to address issues related to subsidence. The USGS California Water Science Center made a detailed assessment of groundwater availability of the Central Valley aquifer system, which includes: (1) the status of groundwater resources; (2) how these resources have changed over time, particularly related to subsidence; and (3) tools to assess system responses to stresses from future human uses and climate variability and change. This effort builds on previous investigations, such as the USGS Central Valley...

This digital dataset contains datasets used to develop the Multi Node Well (MNW2) Package in CVHM2. It includes well locations, well properties for Municipal Pumping, Rural Pumping, Recovery Pumping, and Agricultural Pumping. The data release also includes pumping rates for Municipal Pumping, Rural Pumping, Recovery Pumping. Agricultural Pumping are estimated in CVHM2 by the farm process, and thus are not included in the virtual farm well child item. The data release also documents how urban water use was estimated in CVHM2 from population and other base datasets.

Central Valley Hydrologic Model version 2 (CVHM2): Virtual Farm Wells

This digital dataset contains the location and timing of the virtual farm wells for the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2). Farm wells are simulated as virtual wells and the screen lengths based on those calculated for the original Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM; Faunt and others, 2009). Farm wells are all simulated as multi-node wells (MNW), which allows for a more realistic distribution of pumping by demand for each water balance subregion. Agricultural Pumping are estimated in CVHM2 by the farm process, and thus are not included in the virtual farm well child item.

Central Valley Hydrologic Model version 2 (CVHM2): Rural Pumping

This digital dataset contains the rural pumping dataset used to develop the Multi Node Well (MNW2) Package in the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2). It includes well locations, well properties, and pumping rates for rural pumping.
