Summary

The Rio Grande Transboundary Integrated Hydrologic Model (RGTIHM), which was originally developed by Hanson and others (2020) (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195120), was updated and recalibrated to minimize the biases in RGTIHM’s simulation of streamflow and to incorporate new estimates of historical agricultural consumptive use in the study area. The RGTIHM was developed through an interagency effort between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) to provide a tool for analyzing the hydrologic system response to the historical (March 1940 through 2014) evolution of water use and potential changes in water supplies and demands in the Hatch Valley (also known as Rincon Valley in the study area) and [...]

Purpose

An update and recalibration of the RGTIHM documented in Hanson and others (2020) (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195120) was undertaken to address biases in the RGTIHM’s simulation of streamflow and storage depletions and incorporate new estimates of historical agricultural consumptive use in the study area. The development of the model input and output files included in this data release are documented in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2022-5045 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20225045).
