The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-kilometer \nregion of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the USGS \nnumerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006).  This simulation is referred to \nhere as the CVHM (Faunt, 2009). Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater and \nsurface-water flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the Central \nValley on a monthly basis from 1961-2003.  The total active modeled area is 20,334 square-miles.   \nThe CVHM includes complex surface-water management processes.  The hydrology of the present-day \nCentral Valley and the CVHM model are driven by surface-water deliveries and associated groundwater \npumpage.  The Streamflow Routing Package (SFR1) is linked to MODFLOW-FMP to facilitate the \nsimulated conveyance of surface-water deliveries. If surface-water deliveries do not meet the farm-delivery \nrequirement, the FMP invokes simulated groundwater pumping to meet the demand.  The surface-water \nnetwork represents a subset of the entire stream network in the valley.  Even so, it covers about 3,000 \nkilometers of surface-water and is simulated using 208 stream segments that represent 2244 stream \nreaches, with 43 inflows and 66 diversion locations providing 64 routed and 41 non-routed deliveries.  \nMost of these inflows are regulated by dams and most of the deliveries are conveyed through an \nextensive canal network.  The routed deliveries are conveyed through the simulated surface-water \nnetwork, while the non-routed delivery conveyance typically occurs through small canals or diversion \nditches and are not directly simulated. Much of the surface-water diversion and delivery information \nwas compiled by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for 21 water-balance subregions \n(WBSs) covering the valley floor (C. Brush, California Department of Water Resources, written commun., \nFebruary 21, 2007).  The CVHM is the most recent regional-scale model of the Central Valley developed \nby the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  The CVHM was developed as part of the USGS Groundwater \nResources Program (see \"Foreword\", Chapter A, page iii, for details).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9XCAYMH", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.f27b33fa-c74e-4790-ae66-11255168c800.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_f27b33fa-c74e-4790-ae66-11255168c800", "keyword": ["Alameda County", "Amador County", "Butte County", "CV-RASA", "Calaveras County", "California", "Central Valley", "Central Valley Aquifer", "Central Valley Hydrologic Model", "Central Valley, California", "Colusa County", "Contra Costa County", "El Dorado County", "Flow Model CVHM", "Fresno County", "Glenn County", "Groundwater Availability of the Central Valley Aquifer", "Humboldt County", "Kern County", "Kings County", "Lake County", "Madera County", "Mariposa County", "Mendocino County", "Merced County", "Monterey County", "Napa County", "Nevada County", "Placer County", "Sacramento County", "Sacramento Valley", "San Benito County", "San Joaquin County", "San Joaquin Valley", "San Luis Obispo County", "Santa Barbara County", "Santa Clara County", "Shasta County", "Solano County", "Sonoma County", "Stanislaus County", "Sutter County", "Tehama County", "Texture Model", "Trinity County", "Tulare County", "Tuolumne County", "USGS:f27b33fa-c74e-4790-ae66-11255168c800", "Ventura County", "Yolo County", "Yuba County", "diversion", "geoscientificinformation", "groundwater", "hydrogeology", "hydrology", "inlandWaters", "model", "surface water"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-123.831528, 34.519871, -117.916328, 40.748631", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Monthly Diversions from the Surface-Water Network of the Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM)"}
