Historical boundary of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system by Harrill and Prudic (1998), for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system study, Nevada and California
Description
This digital data set is a historical definition of the extent (approximately 42,600 square-kilometers)
and lateral boundary of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (modified from Harrill and
others, 1988; and Harrill and Prudic, 1998). Harrill and others (1988) developed boundaries for the
major ground-water flow systems in the Great Basin region of Nevada, Utah, and adjacent states
using the boundaries of hydrographic areas. Harrill and Prudic (1998) refined the delineation of the
Death Valley ground-water flow system by using a more accurate base map. The studies by Harrill
and others (1988) and Harrill and Prudic (1998) served as historical references used to support
development of the transient ground-water model of Death Valley regional ground-water flow system
(DVRFS) completed in 2004 by the USGS (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, pages 9-10, for
details).
