Initial hydraulic heads for the transient ground-water flow model, Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California
This digital data set defines the hydraulic-head values in 16 model layers used to initiate the transient
simulation of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) model. The area simulated
by the DVRFS transient ground-water flow model is an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region
of southern Nevada and California. In order to reduce model execution time, hydraulic head values
output from the steady-state simulation of the DVRFS were used as starting hydraulic heads for the
transient simulation of the DVRFS ground-water flow model. The DVRFS transient ground-water flow
model is one of the most recent in a number of regional-scale models developed by the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support investigations at the Nevada Test
Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, page 8).
