Boundary of the ground-water flow model by IT Corporation (1996), for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system study, Nevada and California
This digital data set defines the boundary of the steady-state ground-water flow model built by
IT Corporation (1996). The regional, 20-layer ground-water flow model was developed for the
Underground Test Area (UGTA) Phase I project to simulate the Nevada Test Site and surrounding
areas. The model was used for estimating the amount of water moving through the ground-water
system, predicting the movement of contaminants, evaluating uncertainty in these predictions,
and supplying boundary conditions for more detailed models of the underground testing areas.
The U.S. Geological Survey integrated the IT Corporation (1996) model with the ground-water
flow model by D'Agnese and others (1997) to develop a transient flow model of the Death Valley
regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) for the Department of Energy in 2004 (see "Larger
Work Citation", Chapter A, pages 7-9, for details).
