Central Valley Hydrologic Model version 2 (CVHM2): Small Watershed Climate Data (Recharge, Runoff)
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 included are a CSV file of monthly recharge and runoff values in units of acre-ft/month for each of the 56 small watersheds, a shapefile of the the foothill boundaries for the small watersheds and a shapefile of the model boundary cells and runoff cells that are active for the small watersheds.
