A modified version of a previously published soil-water-balance (SWB) model estimates \nrecharge using climatic, soils, land cover data, in addition to data for groundwater withdrawals for irrigation. \nThe SWB output was adjusted in areas where surface water is used for irrigation. The groundwater flow model \nresults were calibrated using parameter estimation to measured groundwater levels and estimated stream base \nflows. The model was designed as a tool for regional evaluations of groundwater resources and of groundwater \ninteractions with streams and other hydrologic features resulting from current or forecasted conditions. This \nUSGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the model described in the associated model \ndocumentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20165153).
