The zones typically represent areas of differing material \nproperties; however, they may also represent spatially similar areas, such as areas of similar \ninfiltration rates. Material properties, such as horizontal hydraulic conductivity, vertical anisotropy, \nor storage characteristics may vary within a single hydrogeologic unit and be represented by \nnumerous zones; or they may be the same for multiple hydrogeologic units and be  represented \nby a single zone. The DVRFS zones were typically derived from geological or hydrological analyses \nby Sweetkind and others (2004) and Faunt and others (2004) and were used as input in the DVRFS \ntransient ground-water flow model, a regional-scale model developed by the U.S. Geological Survey \n(USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support investigations at the Nevada Test Site \n(NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see \"Larger Work Citation\", Chapter A, page 8, for details).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P995VAUC", "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.f4c0b695-0a69-4756-b66f-b6553c7196f8.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_f4c0b695-0a69-4756-b66f-b6553c7196f8", "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", "MODFLOW-2000", "MODFLOW-2000 zones", "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:f4c0b695-0a69-4756-b66f-b6553c7196f8", "Yucca Mountain", "environment", "flow model", "geoscientificInformation", "ground water", "ground-water recharge", "hydraulic conductivity", "hydrogeology", "hydrology", "inlandWaters", "net infiltration", "southern Nevada", "transient ground-water model"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-117.718697, 35.481569, -114.981308, 38.120690", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Material-property zones used in the transient ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California"}
