Model grid and infiltration values for the transient ground-water flow model, Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital data set defines the model grid and infiltration values simulated in the transient ground-water flow model of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California. The DVRFS model grid is north-south-oriented, consists of 194 rows and 160 columns, and has a constant grid-cell spacing of 1,500 meters. Model cells are attributed with infiltration rates that are used as a component of recharge in the flow model. The DVRFS transient ground-water flow model is one of the most recent in a number of regional-scale models developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, page 8).

本数字数据集明确界定了死亡谷区域地下水流系统（Death Valley Regional Ground-Water Flow System, DVRFS）瞬态地下水流模型中所模拟的模型网格与入渗量数值；该系统覆盖内华达州南部与加利福尼亚州境内约4.5万平方千米的区域。DVRFS的模型网格呈南北向排布，包含194行与160列，网格单元间距恒定为1500米。各模型单元均赋值有入渗率参数，该参数作为补给量的组成部分应用于地下水流模型中。DVRFS瞬态地下水流模型是美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）为美国能源部（U.S. Department of Energy, DOE）开发的系列区域尺度模型中的最新模型之一，用于支撑内华达试验场（Nevada Test Site, NTS）与内华达州尤卡山的相关调查研究（详见"Larger Work Citation"章节A第8页）。
