Upper Humboldt Model Grid and Potential Groundwater Capture Results
This U.S. Geological Survey data release contains a polygon model grid and a table of 100-year groundwater capture results for the upper Humboldt River basin, Nevada. The grid defines active model cells, including cell identifiers and elevations for the three model layers. The table summarizes potential groundwater capture from three sources: stream depletion, salvaged evapotranspiration (ETg), and storage change.
Capture simulations were conducted only for layers 1 and 2. Not all simulations converged, resulting in some missing capture results. Additionally, capture results are not provided for cells that became dry during the 100-year simulation. Simulations were not conducted for layer 3 because the depth from land surface exceeds 1,000 feet.
Information regarding model development can be found in associated model documentation report (https://water.nv.gov/index.php/library/water-resource-bulletins, Bulletin 49) and the model application data release (https://water.nv.gov/index.php/data/hydrologic-models).
