The HFM represents the geometry and extent of hydrogeologic \nunits and major structures in an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and \nCalifornia. The HFM was constructed from digital elevation models, geologic maps, borehole information, \ngeologic and hydrogeologic cross sections, and other 3D models to represent the geometry of the \nhydrogeologic units. Cross sections from five sources were used as input to the HFM: (1) 28 sections \nof the DVRFS region, (2) six sections of southern Nevada and eastern California, (3) 22 sections from a \nhydrogeologic framework model of the Nevada Test Site region, (4) four sections of the Yucca Mountain \narea, and (5) three sections of the southern part of Yucca Mountain and the northern part of Amargosa \nDesert (Faunt and others, 2004, Chapter E, pages 176-179). The HFM represents principal aquifers and \nconfining units and is an integral component of the DVRFS transient ground-water flow model. The DVRFS \nHFM and transient ground-water flow models are the most recent in a number of regional-scale models \ndeveloped by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support \ninvestigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see \"Larger Work Citation\", \nChapter A, page 8).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9FVMEQ4", "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.6f7f10e1-c14d-4060-a89b-cb48524c113f.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_6f7f10e1-c14d-4060-a89b-cb48524c113f", "keyword": ["Amargosa Desert", "Ash Meadows", "California", "California Valley", "Chicago Valley", "China Ranch", "Clark County", "Clayton Valley", "Coal Valley", "Death Valley", "Death Valley regional ground-water flow system", "Esmeralda County", "Eureka Valley", "Franklin Lake", "Franklin Well", "Garden Valley", "Inyo County", "Kern County", "Las Vegas Valley", "Lincoln County", "Mesquite Valley", "Mineral County", "Mono County", "Nevada", "Nevada Test Site", "Nye County", "Oasis Valley", "Owlshead Mountains", "Pahranagat Range", "Pahrump Valley", "Panamint Range", "Penoyer Valley", "Railroad Valley", "Resting Spring", "Saline Valley", "San Bernadino County", "Sarcobatus Flat", "Sheep Range", "Shoshone", "Silurian Valley", "Spring Mountains", "Stewart Valley", "Stone Cabin Valley", "Tecopa", "USGS:6f7f10e1-c14d-4060-a89b-cb48524c113f", "Yucca Mountain", "cross section", "environment", "flow model", "geologic cross section", "geoscientificInformation", "ground water", "hydrogeologic cross section", "hydrogeologic framework model", "hydrogeology", "hydrology", "inlandWaters", "southern Nevada", "transient ground-water model"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-118.006374, 35.486264, -114.514715, 38.119023", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Traces of geologic and hydrogeologic cross sections used to develop the hydrogeologic framework model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California"}
