The HFM formed the \nbasis of the regional steady-state ground-water flow model of the NTS and surrounding areas \ndeveloped by IT Corporation (1996b). Belcher and others (2002) integrated the IT Corporation (1996) \nand the D'Agnese and others (1997) HFM's to produce an HFM for the steady-state flow model of \nthe Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) for the Department of Energy. Source \ndata from the IT Corporation (1996) and the D'Agnese and others (1997) HFM's were subsequently \nintegrated with new geologic interpretations to produce the HFM supporting the transient flow model \nof the DVRFS (see \"Larger Work Citation\", Chapter A, for details).\nReferences:\nBelcher, W.R., Faunt, C.C., and D'Agnese, F.A., 2002, \nThree-dimensional hydrogeologic framework model for use with a steady-state numerical ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional flow system, Nevada and California: \nU.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 01-4254, 87 p., \nhttps://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/wri014254\nD'Agnese, F.A., Faunt, C.C., Turner, A.K., and Hill, M.C., 1997, \nHydrogeologic evaluation and numerical simulation of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California: \nU.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4300, 124 p., \nhttp://pubs.er.usgs.gov/pubs/wri/wri964300\nIT Corporation, 1996, \nUnderground test area subproject, Phase I, Data analysis task, volume I-Geologic model data documentation package: \nLas Vegas, Nev., Report ITLV/10972-181 \nprepared for the U.S. Department of Energy, 8 volumes, various pagination.\nIT Corporation, 1996b, \nUnderground test area subproject, Phase I, Data analysis task, volume VI-Groundwater flow model data documentation package: \nLas Vegas, Nev., Report ITLV/10972-181 \nprepared for the U.S. Department of Energy, 8 volumes, various pagination.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9IZNUZI", "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.06dc2517-d84e-4f61-80c7-1c85a889b728.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_06dc2517-d84e-4f61-80c7-1c85a889b728", "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 Bernardino County", "Sarcobatus Flat", "Sheep Range", "Shoshone", "Silurian Valley", "Spring Mountains", "Stewart Valley", "Stone Cabin Valley", "Tecopa", "USGS:06dc2517-d84e-4f61-80c7-1c85a889b728", "Yucca Mountain", "eastern California", "environment", "evapotranspiration", "flow model", "geoscientificInformation", "ground water", "ground-water discharge", "ground-water pumping", "ground-water recharge", "hydraulic conductivity", "hydraulic head", "hydrogeologic framework model", "hydrogeology", "hydrology", "inlandWaters", "lateral ground-water flow", "lateral ground-water model boundary", "net infiltration", "southern Nevada", "spring flow", "steady-state ground-water model", "transient ground-water model", "water level", "water well"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-117.508775, 35.990461, -114.969931, 38.523039", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Boundary of the hydrogeologic framework model by IT Corporation (1996), for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system study, Nevada and California"}
