The Central Valley encompasses an approximate 50,000 square-\nkilometer region of California. The complex hydrologic system of the Central Valley is simulated using the \nUSGS numerical modeling code MODFLOW-FMP (Schmid and others, 2006b).  This simiulation is referred \nto here as the CVHM (Faunt, 2009).  Utilizing MODFLOW-FMP, the CVHM simulates groundwater and surface-\nwater flow, irrigated agriculture, land subsidence, and other key processes in the Central Valley on a monthly \nbasis from 1961-2003.  The total active modeled area is 20,334 square-miles.   The CVHM includes complex \nsurface-water management processes.  The hydrology of the present-day Central Valley and the CVHM model \nare driven by surface-water deliveries and associated groundwater pumpage.  The Streamflow Routing Package \n(SFR1) is linked to MODFLOW-FMP to facilitate the simulated conveyance of surface-water deliveries.  If surface-\nwater deliveries do not meet the farm delivery requirement, the FMP invokes simulated groundwater pumping to \nmeet the demand.  The surface-water network represents a subset of the entire stream network in the valley.  \nEven so, it covers about 3,000 kilometers of surface-water and is simulated using 208 stream segments that \nrepresent 2244 stream reaches, with 43 inflows and 66 diversion locations providing 64 routed and 41 non-routed \ndeliveries.  Most 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 network, \nwhile the non-routed delivery conveyance typically occurs through small canals or diversion ditches and are \nnot directly simulated.  Much of the surface-water diversion and delivery information was compiled by the \nCalifornia Department of Water Resources (DWR) for 21 water-balance subregions (WBSs) covering the valley \nfloor (C. Brush, California Department of Water Resources, written commun., February 21, 2007).  The CVHM \nis the most recent regional-scale model of the Central Valley developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).\nThe CVHM was developed as part of the USGS Groundwater Resources Program (see \"Foreword\", Chapter A, \npage iii, for details).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9K61Z0H", "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.662f51f6-8885-4802-b8f1-eab87f41a253.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_662f51f6-8885-4802-b8f1-eab87f41a253", "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:662f51f6-8885-4802-b8f1-eab87f41a253", "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": "-122.325065, 35.231443, -118.726108, 39.839966", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Stream-gage locations where streamflow gains/losses were quantified along the Central Valley surface-water network"}
