Using \na generalized approach, MVR facilitates the transfer of water among many arbitrary combinations of \nsimulated features (i.e., pumping wells, stream, drains, lakes, etc.) within a MODFLOW 6 simulation.  \nIn this archive, the nature of the two hypothetical models are (1) simple (\"model1\" in the model.zip file) \nand complex (\"model2\" in the model.zip file). \"Model1\" relies on a previously published parent-child \nnested grid simulation (see \"example 3\" on page 30 at https://pubs.usgs.gov/tm/6a44/) that has been \nrefactored for MODFLOW 6. In the accompanying journal article, this model is described in the \nsupplemental material. The child model resolves the parent model grid cells with 27 (3x3x3) additional \ncells. Model1 uses only two MVR connections to pass water (1) from a streamflow routing (SFR) reach \nin a parent model to an SFR reach in a child model and (2) from an SFR reach in the child model back \nto an SFR reach in the parent model.  The complex model has 64 rows, 133 columns, and 4 layers and \nis patterned after an irrigated river valley in the semi-arid western U.S. \"Model2\" first appeared in the \njournal article, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S136481521630113X. In the journal \narticle accompanying this data release \"model2\" is discussed in the section titled \"A Mock Irrigated \nRiver Valley\".  The model demonstrates the general flexibility of the MVR package so readers can get \na sense how MODFLOW 6 may be tailored to complex water-management problems in conjunctive-use \nsystems.  To this end, thousands of MVR connections are present with every stress period.  The complex \nmodel simulates a hypothetical water-year and therefore relies on 366 transient (daily) stress periods \nafter the initial steady-state stress period.  The transient period of the model extends from an arbitrary \nOctober 1st to the following September 30th.  The complex model includes a river, 4 main diversion \nditches, and numerous tributaries, many of which are open drains representative of irrigation return \nflows.  All these features are represented with the streamflow routing (SFR) package. The simulation \nalso includes a reservoir represented with the Lake (LAK) package. Rainfall and evapotranspiration \nare simulated with the unsaturated-zone flow (UZF) package.  Water transfers between packages \nare handled by the MVR package.  This USGS data release contains all the input and output files \nfor the simulations described in the associated journal article.
