This digital dataset consists of monthly climate data from the Basin Characterization Model v8 (BCMv8) for the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) for water years 1922 to 2019. The BCMv8 data are available in a separate data release titled "The Basin Characterization Model - A regional water balance software package (BCMv8) data release and model archive for hydrologic California, water years 1896-2020". The data were modified by: (1) extracting the data from the data source for the relevant model domain and times, and (2) rescaling the 270-meter BCMv8 grid to the small watersheds that contribute boundary flow to the CVHM2 model for the hydrologic variables recharge and runoff. The three data pieces...

This data release provides updated borehole information to build upon and further refine a three-dimensional (3-D) texture model of valley-fill deposits in the Central Valley created by Faunt and others (2009). This model aids in understanding the aquifer system of the entire valley and will be later utilized in a groundwater flow model. The original database contained approximately 8,500 boreholes and with the addition of new data, the model now contains 14,683 boreholes. The new borehole lithologic data was sourced from the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Online System of Well Completion Reports (OSWCR) and the California Central Valley Groundwater-Surface Water Simulation Model (C2VSim). This dataset...

Managed aquifer recharge is a water-management strategy used to meet water demands during dry periods, or periods of high-water demand, when surface-water supplies are low. One method of managed aquifer recharge uses aquifer systems as subsurface reservoirs or ‘water banks’ to effectively and economically store surface water when surplus is available, and then recover the recharged groundwater to meet water demands during droughts. During these water shortages, increased groundwater pumpage can be used to offset shortfalls in surface-water supplies. Thus, surface-water reservoirs and water banks can be used conjunctively to effectively coordinate the use of groundwater and surface water. Data were compiled for ten...

This digital dataset contains groundwater level observations for 364 wells, in addition to well construction information, from 1916 to 2014 in the Central Valley, California. Groundwater level observations are used to create groundwater level contours and to calibrate the groundwater levels for the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2). Groundwater level observations were collected from five sources (USGS, 2018; SLDMWA, 2018; CADWR, 2004; CRNA, 2018).

The Central Valley, and particularly the San Joaquin Valley, has a long history of land subsidence caused by groundwater development. The extensive withdrawal of groundwater from the unconsolidated deposits of the San Joaquin Valley lowered groundwater levels and caused widespread land subsidence—reaching 9 meters by 1981. More than half of the thickness of the aquifer system is composed of fine-grained sediments, including clays, silts, and sandy or silty clays that are susceptible to compaction. In an effort to aid water managers in understanding how water moves through the aquifer system, predicting water-supply scenarios, and addressing issues related to water competition, the United States Geological Survey...

The model setup of the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) is similar to the original Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM). The differences in the model setup are described here as either model discretization, tidal influence, or drain flow. For model discretization, CVHM2 has 13 layers compared to 10 in CVHM. Tidal data for the San Francisco Bay and its influence on the general head boundary was added in CVHM2. Drain flow was not included in CVHM1 for the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, and was added in CVHM2.

This digital dataset contains the monthly inflows and diversions to the surface-water network in the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) for water years 1922-2019. The surface-water network simulates the Central Valley’s complex conveyance network through the Streamflow Routing Package (SFR2) and the Farm-Process (FMP4) at 65 inflow locations with 271 stream segments that represent 4043 stream reaches and 13 bifurcations, and 571 diversion locations providing 564 of semi-routed diversions and 7 non-routed diversions. The semi-routed deliveries are routed through the simulated surface-water network, while the non-routed delivery is simulated through linkages between the SFR2 and FMP4 packages in MODFLOW-OWHM....
The original Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM) did not simulate tile drain discharge in the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. The updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) does simulate on-farm drains. The data for the drain flow and locations were obtained from the Berkeley National Laboratory is from (WESTSIM2) (N. Quinn, Berkeley National Laboratory, written communication., 2010). This component of the data release includes:e (1) three datasets included are a spreadsheet of the available observations with the drain flows in acre-ft/month, (2) a shapefile of the WESTSIM2 drain cells, and (3) a shapefile of the original WESTSIM2 drain cells translated to the CVHM2 model grid.

The updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) is similar to the original Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM) in terms of the basic units of model discretization. Both versions simulated monthly stress periods on the same one square mile cell spatial discretization. Although the simulation period for CVHM1 was water years 1962-2003, the CVHM2 simulation period is water years 1962-2019. Both CVHM and CVHM2 have a 6 month spin up period from April-September of 1961. The CVHM2 is now composed of 13 layers compared to the ten in the CVHM. As in CVHM, hydraulic properties are generally based on percentage of coarse-grained deposits and these values are adjusted based on depth, spatial location (geomorphic province),...

The shapefile in this data release is the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) model grid cells with yearly land use from 1921 to 2019. Historical land use data shows the Central Valley land use prior to agricultural development. The rise of agriculture in the Central Valley is visible over time in this data set. Existing land use maps covering the Central Valley were used as sources and were assigned to model grids cells for their observed land use year. This source data was used to estimate land use over time for years where no land use map was available. This was accomplished by comparing land use cells between two years where source data is available. Cells where there is no land use change remain...

This digital dataset contains the soil data for the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2). The soil data is based on California Department of Water Resource’s C2VSim’s fine grid model soil curve number data set (C2VSimFG Version 1.0 - Datasets; CNRA, 2011). These values were originally obtained from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) soil map of the State of California (USDA, 2004), and then an area-weighted average value for each hydrologic soil group within each subregion was calculated to the C2VSim element. Curve number values obtained from SSURGO were converted for use in C2VSimFG. To translate the curve...

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.

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.
