Larsen, J.D., 2022, MODFLOW-OWHM model used to simulate groundwater flow and evaluate storage in the Lucerne Valley Groundwater Basin, California: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P94W41EL.

Summary

A three-dimensional groundwater flow model, MODFLOW-OWHM, was developed to provide a better understanding of the hydrogeology of the Lucerne Valley Groundwater Basin, California. The model was used to investigate the historical groundwater storage loss and subsidence associated with anthropogenic groundwater demands. The model was calibrated to 1942 through 2016 conditions. 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/sir20225048

Purpose

MODFLOW-OWHM, was used to evaluate historical changes in groundwater-level altitudes and associated subsidence that have occured due to anthropogenic pumping. The model focuses on the Lucerne Valley Groundwater Basin, California. 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 2022-5048 https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20225048
