Hydrogeologic map of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California
This digital dataset represents the surface hydrogeology of an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer area
of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) in southern Nevada and California. Faunt
and others (2004) constructed the map by merging mapped lithostratigraphic units into 27 hydrogeologic
units (HGUs). The HGUs represent rocks and deposits of considerable lateral extent and distinct hydrologic
properties. The hydrogeologic map was fundamental to the development of a hydrogeologic framework
model and a transient ground-water flow model of the DVRFS. These models are 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).
