Summary
Groundwater in the Big Lost River Basin is vital to irrigated agriculture in the basin and water users are concerned about declining groundwater levels. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Idaho Department of Water Resources, developed a hydrogeologic framework to provide a conceptual understanding of groundwater resources in the Big Lost River Basin. A three-dimensional hydrogeologic framework model of the Big Lost River Basin was generated to represent the subsurface distribution and thickness of four hydrogeologic units. This dataset represents the hydrogeologic framework model in an ASCII tab-delimited text file containing coordinate, altitude and hydrogeologic unit data. This hydrogeologic framework model file [...]

Zinsser, L.M., 2021, Hydrogeologic framework of the Big Lost River Basin, south-central Idaho, chap. A of Zinsser, L.M., ed., Characterization of water resources in the Big Lost River Basin, south-central Idaho: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2021–5078–A, 42 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215078A.
The purpose of this data release is to provide the three-dimensional hydrogeologic framework model in ASCII format which allows it be imported into three-dimensional modeling or geographic information system software. More information on model construction and limitations can be found in the companion report, SIR 2021-5078-A (Hydrogeologic Framework of the Big Lost River Basin, South-Central Idaho by L.M. Zinsser).
