This digital dataset contains the surface-water network for the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM). The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000-square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGS numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006). This simulation is referred to here as the CVHM (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the Central Valley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003. The total active modeled area is 20,334 square-miles. The CVHM includes complex surface-water management processes. The hydrology of the present-day Central Valley and the CVHM model are driven by surface-water deliveries and associated groundwater pumpage. The Streamflow Routing Package (SFR1) is linked to MODFLOW-FMP to facilitate the simulated conveyance of surface-water deliveries. If surface-water deliveries do not meet the farm delivery requirement, the FMP invokes simulated groundwater pumping to meet the demand. The surface-water network represents a subset of the entire stream network in the valley. Even so, it covers about 3,000 kilometers of surface-water and is simulated using 208 stream segments that represent 2244 stream reaches, with 43 inflows and 66 diversion locations providing 64 routed and 41 non-routed deliveries. Most of these inflows are regulated by dams and most of the deliveries conveyed are through an extensive canal network. The routed deliveries are convyed through the simulated surface-water network, while the non-routed delivery conveyance typically occurs through small canals or diversion ditches and are not directly simulated. Much of the surface-water diversion and delivery information was compiled by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for 21 water-balance subregions (WBSs) covering the valley floor (C. Brush, California Department of Water Resources, written commun., February 21, 2007). The CVHM is the most recent regional-scale model of the Central Valley developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).The CVHM was developed as part of the USGS Groundwater Resources Program (see "Foreword", Chapter A, page iii, for details).

This digital dataset contains the monthly diversions from the surface water network in the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) for water years 1922-2019. The volume of water transported by surface-water diversions were updated in the CVHM2 from several sources, including: • The C2VSIM developed by DWR, • The WestSIM model, • Delta Mendota Canal turnout delivery data obtained from SLDMWA, • Delta delivery data obtained from Montgomery Watson. The surface water diversions are simulated through the Streamflow Routing Package (SFR2) using 571 diversion locations providing 564 semi-routed and 7 non-routed diversions. Linkages between SFR2 and the Farm-Process (FMP4) simulate the semi-routed and non-routed deliveries through the stream network from a specified diversion location. The semi-routed deliveries (SRD) are regulated by a diversion limit at each location so that FMP4 can only divert from the stream network up a certain amount, specified in the file, SRD_Diversion_Limit.csv. The non-routed deliveries (NRD) are “piped” from a diversion location to a given subregion to meet farm demand. A list of the diversion locations and associated subregions for the NRDs is provided in NRD_ID.csv. Simulating diversions in this way simplified how diversions were simulated and made it easier to account for the volumes from the diversions in the input and output datasets. When compared to the CVHM1, the number of diversions in the CVHM2 were greatly increased in the Delta as well as the Western San Joaquin Valley. This dataset also includes the diversion names, locations, monthly magnitudes, and the non-routed delivery model input file for FMP4.

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 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. Surface water data for CVHM2 is presented in two child items: inflow and bifurcation names, locations, and magnitude; diversion names, locations, and magnitude for semi-routed and non-routed diversions. Each child item contains metadata, a shapefile, and a csv file containing the data.

This digital dataset defines the well locations for hydraulic-head observations used in the calibration of the transient hydrologic model of the Central Valley flow system. The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGSs numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006). This application is referred to here as the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM) (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the Central Valley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003. The USGS and DWR maintain databases of key wells in the Central Valley that are web-accessible (http://waterdata.usgs.gov and http://www.water.ca.gov/waterdatalibrary/, respectively). These data were combined to form a database of available water levels throughout the Central Valley from 1961 to 2003. More than 850,000 water-level altitude measurements from more than 21,400 wells have been compiled by the USGS or DWR and have been entered into their respective databases. However, only a small proportion of these wells have both sufficient construction information to determine the well-perforation interval and water-level measurements for the simulation period. For model calibration, water-level altitude data were needed that were (1) distributed spatially (both geographically and vertically) throughout the Central Valley, from the valley trough to the foothills; (2) distributed temporally throughout the simulation period (1961-2003); and (3) available during both wet and dry climatic regimes. From the available wells records, a subset of comparison wells was selected on the basis of perforation depths, completeness of record, climatic intervals, and locations throughout the Central Valley. Water-level altitude observations (19,725) for 206 comparison wells were used as calibration targets during parameter estimation.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) used the Borehole data to characterize the hydrogeology in the Central Valley of California for the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2). These data encompass the inputs and outputs for the three-dimensional (3D) hydrogeologic Framework for the Central Valley, California, a part of the Central Valley Hydraulic Framework version 2 (CVHM2) project. These files include the shapefiles with flow layers (Flow_model_grid.zip), a scatter dataset of the modeled Central Valley (PercentCoarse_CV_50ft.csv), and the well log information and kriging parameters for the Central Valley (Kriging_Table.xlxs).
