Expanded shifted ratings and estimated provisional streamflow for streamgages in the Chowan and Roanoke River Basins in Virginia, water years 1991 through 2013
공공데이터포털
Estimated provisional streamflow values (Messinger and Burgholzer, 201x) for streamgages in the Chowan and Roanoke River Basins and the shifted, expanded ratings that were used to develop them are included in this dataset. This file contains source data, daily streamflow records and selected ratings that had been saved in the National Water Information Service database for water years 1991-2013. Microsoft Excel formulas that were used to compute the estimated provisional streamflow (AltFlow) tables are included, and may be used to extend the AltFlow record following the procedure described by Messinger and Burgholzer (2017), in Appendix 2. This release also contains the existing AltFlow record for the same streamgages in comma-separated variable (csv) format.
MODFLOW2000 FMP1 1 model used to simulate the groundwater flow of the Central Valley Aquifer, California
공공데이터포털
A three-dimensional groundwater flow model (MODFLOW200-FMP1_1) of the Central Valley in California was developed to aid water managers in understanding how water moves through the aquifer system, to predict water-supply scenarios, and to address issues related to water competition. The USGS Groundwater Resources Program made a detailed assessment of groundwater availability of the Central Valley aquifer system, which includes: (1) the present status of groundwater resources; (2) how these resources have changed over time; and (3) tools to assess system responses to stresses from future human uses and climate variability and change. This effort builds on previous investigations, such as the USGS Central Valley Regional Aquifer System and Analysis (CV-RASA) project and several other groundwater studies in the Valley completed by Federal, State and local agencies at differing scales. The principal product of this new assessment is a tool referred to as the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM) that accounts for integrated, variable water supply and demand, and simulates surface-water and groundwater-flow across the entire Central Valley system. The current model was extended to incorporate a slightly larger geographic area, has a finer spatial and temporal discretization, uses a more-detailed depiction of subsurface geology. In addition, the model utilizes a modified version of MODFLOW2000 (version 1.15.03) to include an updated and refined Farm Process (FMP1) to simulate groundwater and surface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the Central Valley on a monthly basis for April 1961 through September 2003. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulation and calibration of the CVHM described in the associated model documentation report (https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp1766).

MODFLOW-NWT Model Used to Evaluate Stream Capture Related to Groundwater Pumping, Lower Humboldt River Basin, Nevada (ver. 1.1, March 2024)
공공데이터포털
A three-dimensional groundwater flow model using MODFLOW-NWT was developed to evaluate historical and potential stream capture in the lower Humboldt River Basin, Nevada. The Humboldt River Basin is the only river basin that is contained entirely within the state of Nevada. The effect of groundwater pumping on the Humboldt River is not well understood. Tools are needed to determine stream capture and manage groundwater pumping in the Humboldt River Basin. Previous work has demonstrated that the river’s surface-water resource is sensitive to groundwater withdrawals, which have steadily increased since the 1950s for agriculture, municipal, and mining uses. A numerical groundwater flow model was developed for the purpose of estimating stream capture from pre-2016 and future pumping as well as for any location of potential future pumping within the lower Humboldt River Basin. The model was calibrated with historical data from 1960 through 2016. The calibrated historic model was used to evaluate historic capture and a transient predictive model was used to evaluate potential capture anywhere within the lower Humboldt River Basin, Nevada. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235110).
