Study area boundary for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

This digital data set represents the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) study area which encompasses approximately 100,000-square kilometers in Nevada and California and is bounded by latitudes 35-degrees north and 38-degrees 15-minutes north and by longitudes 115-degrees west and 118-degrees west. The study area boundary encompasses the DVRFS model domain which is the area simulated by a transient ground-water flow model. The DVRFS transient ground-water flow model is 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, for details).
